[edit] Downloading Wiki

I need a copy of Wikipedia for use in college, which doesnt have an internet connection. I would like to download the whole of wikipedia, and rip it onto some CD(s). How can I do it without manually downloading every article? If it is possible, Does wiki have any objections in doing so? Also, what may be the size of that? :SudhirP 13:16, May 16, 2004 (UTC)

It is welcomed, see http://download.wikimedia.org/. The current version of the english wikipedia will fit on a CD, but will be a very long download if you are on dialup. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 15:20, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Signing everything

Please stop signing images and articles with your user name, this is against policy. Thank you --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 08:28, 2004 May 23 (UTC)

(We really do appreciate the edits; aside from the signing, keep up the good work!) grendelkhan|(blather) 08:30, 2004 May 23 (UTC)
Oookie, the thing is that if everyone would say sign wikipedia articles and images the content would suffer, instead we have upload logs and commmit logs to credit contributors. Since it is against policy signing everything means that 1. someone else has to go through your commits and fix them meaning trauble for them 2. content such as images you upload are in danger of being deleted. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 08:39, 2004 May 23 (UTC)
  • I used to sign my images and articles, so that i could show my friends that i am doing something worthwile on the internet, and that i have some articles under my name. Probably i went overboard. I will no longer sign my articles or images. But it may take some time to replace those existing images. (Anyway, thanx for mentioning! It is good manners to be modest!) :SudhirP 14:12, Jun 4, 2004 (UTC)
