Thanks! I was able to update FreeHosts -- however,
SpecializedCommercialHosts is still showing up as an immutable page.
yes, when I go look that page is marked differently:
#acl TrustedEditorsGroup:read,write,delete,revert All:read
I, at least don't know why that is, but since that is not a common
setting, I presume there's a reason. If someone else does not pop up
with comments, one of us can stuff your changes in there.
I suppose this was added due to spamming in the past. With the
approach we're using now, this is no longer needed. You can
remove it.
Thanks,
Gah, this area is a bit confused.
So we have a page FreeHosts, a page NonCommercialHosting, a page
OtherCommercialHosts, and a page SpecializedCommercialHosts. All of them
end with a reference to PythonHosting, a page which does not exist.
As a bit of cleanup I'd like at least to remove the link to
PythonHosting, unless that's something we should resurrect from whatever
dumpster it went into, and add an introductory line to those of the four
that don't have one giving the definition of the category (specialized
and non-commercial have one, free and other-commercial don't).
Or... we could do something different.... anyone else who wants to dive
in, please do.
I'd love to dive in and help, but as someone with very much of a vested
interest in what those pages look like, I probably am not the right
person to do that.
That said, something else I've noticed is that there appear to be a
number of dead links. On FreeHosts:
* Frihost times out
* WikiWikiWeb.de gives a 503 error
On SpecializedCommercialHosts:
* INGATE occurs twice, as INGATE and Ingate
* RSHosting occurs four times, as RSHosting, RSHostingUK, UK Reseller
Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting. The latter two link to 404 pages.
* 30loops appears to go to a spam page
* ZyrixHost goes to a domain registrar's holding page
* Amaze goes to a recruitment company
* Centada Python Hosting -- domain no longer exists
* Computer Frontiers -- goes to a default Apache install
* CornerHost.com -- goes to a spam page
* Development Island -- has shut down
* DjangoDomain -- domain no longer exists
* Diginode Networks -- no page
* High Speed Rails -- domain registrar's holding page
* Hospedagem de Sites -- times out. (HomeHost - Hospedagem de sites
works, however)
* Hub-Hub -- goes to a site that appears to be for creating websites
with no technical knowledge, which is quite the opposite of what it
used to be. Apparently is pending renewal or deletion as of 2009...
* Quaxim -- domain no longer exists
* Dedicated Web Servers -- 404 page, root page on the domain does not
respond
* Sonologic -- has shut down
* Wikihosting.nl - 404 on front page
* UK Dedicated Hosting - PHP error
* WebNet Hosting -- some kind of login thing on the front page
A number of others went to 404 pages, but all had links that took you to
what -- at a quick glance -- looked like a hosting company, so I've not
noted them.
I'd be happy to sort the above out if it's OK with you.
All the best,
Giles
