Wikipedia Review Down 4U?
JA: I can't seem to raise WR. Is that just me? Jon Awbrey 21:36, 29 June 2007 (PDT)
- Down for me, too, Jon. Probably a crack team of IP-disrupting cabalists. ;-) Either that, or, did you notice that the Libyan convicted for Lockerbie may be released? Didn't Slim Virgin have something to do with his incarceration? Seriously, isn't there some connection? --MyWikiBiz 09:18, 30 June 2007 (PDT)
JA: I can still get the lo-rider model — http://wikipediareview.com/lofiversion/ — read only, but there have been no changes in that since the which-end hour. Jon Awbrey 09:58, 30 June 2007 (PDT)
JA: Hah! I read that the first time as "incarnation" — then again, who knows ? — maybe that guy is SlimVirgin ??? Jon Awbrey 10:06, 30 June 2007 (PDT)
- I guess we could always say the two things are related, somehow... I mean, they might as well be. Anyway, I've just sent an e-mail to the folks at LunarPages, in hopes they can fix the cached skin file in question without our necessarily having to wait for Selina to do it. I'll let you know if they refuse... In the meantime, I'm still feeling terrible about the whole thing, but just think, a year from now we'll all look back on this incident and feel slightly less terrible! Somey 21:42, 1 July 2007 (PDT)
- Remember when AOL went to unlimited minutes for flat fee? The customers swamped the servers so bad, the outages led to front-page news. AOL's stock shot UP at that time, because analysts quickly (and correctly) saw that if AOL access led to front-page news, this Internet thing must be REALLY IMPORTANT to consumers. Of course, AOL sat on their laurels for too many years, and now they are a mere shell of their former self. But, anyway, the analogy may be for us Wikipedia Reviewers... what did we do these past few days, WITHOUT our favorite message board? --MyWikiBiz 21:48, 1 July 2007 (PDT)
Google is not finding us
Something happened, I don't know what, it could be switching to the new metawiki platform, maybe something else but google is definitely not caching any of our new pages correctly. My only new client in a while is getting screwed because his page isn't being found. This link pulls up the cached version of his page and gives an error message that was never on centiare before. "failed to derive URL prefix for timeline API codes" I think this message might be key to finding the culprit. Helping people create exposure is the only reason centiare really exists and right now it isn't doing that very well, at all. My fledgling business is at stake. What should we do?

- I've noticed similar goings on, too, Garrett. Karl is away for a vacation this week, but I think he's back around July 9th. Let's question him then. Personally, I think something is going on with the server -- very slow for the past 10 days, and that would coincide with the 23,000 pages that Karl added with RSS feeds. Could be bogging things down so much that the Google bots are giving up after "time outs". --MyWikiBiz 21:24, 1 July 2007 (PDT)
- Thanks for getting back with me. I assumed Karl was on vacation or something similar. My business has been in the toilet and the law firm of James Novak is pissed they no where to be found on google. I'm sure it will all get worked out after he gets back. But for now I'll just enjoy my endless summer sans work. Luckily centiare and working with Lande on wikipedia has netted me near the same as a crappy minimum wage job except a 4 hour work week instead of thirty :) Garrett 08:29, 7 July 2007 (PDT)
How To Create New Semantic Tags?
JA: I forgot how to make new semantic tags. I need to make one called "Poem Of" for a page that has a single poem and one called "Poetry Of" for a page that has a small collection of poems. Or maybe I just asked Karl last time? Jon Awbrey 11:18, 7 July 2007 (PDT)
- You can make 'em just like any of the other ones were made -- by creating the text label in a page, then filling out the linked-to page from the RDF table at the bottom of the page. The only thing is that Karl is asking people to "go through him" first, so that he/we can advise on better solutions that may already be in place. Let me make a general apology for being so out of the loop for the past week ... and unfortunately, it's going to continue for a couple of weeks. Jon, you ARE our Centiare Prize winner, though, so we'll be passing the cup here and getting a check to you before the end of the month. --MyWikiBiz 19:58, 8 July 2007 (PDT)
JA: Yeah, I went ahead and followed the paradigm that I saw for Paper Name, Paper Of, etc., but I can't figure out why the Attribute:Poetry Name that I created still reports 0 items under it. Did I do something wrong, or does it take the database that long to refresh? Jon Awbrey 20:56, 8 July 2007 (PDT)
- Jon, it's showing up as a Relation, not an Attribute. I hope that helps. I'm not going to have time to troubleshoot this any more this week. --MyWikiBiz 22:09, 8 July 2007 (PDT)
JA: It's okay now. It seems to have gotten picked up on my last edit of the page being tagged. It may have had to do with the order in which I created content pages and attribute-relation pages. Gracias, Jon Awbrey 08:08, 9 July 2007 (PDT)
