It was in my spam folder as well, I've marked it as not spam so hopefully
Google will figure it out.

Mine too. Note we're all on Gmail. Could those on Gmail please find
the original email and mark it "not spam" in the hope the otherwise
lovely Gmail spam filter gets the idea? Thank you :-)

Same here. Quite a few posts have in fact. Very annoying.

Dunno, but your post ended up in my spam filter for some reason. FYI
in case it helps and in case others also had the same problem.
Hopefully this repost won't have the same problems.

[WikiEN-l] current events in Wikipedia

2009-04-02 Thread Shriram Getc
In order to obtain current events from the Wikipedia in wiki markup, an 
application generally needs to take the following steps:
 1. Construct the current date string in the form of "_MO_DA", e.g., 
"2009_April_1"
 2. Perform GET by the URL for the given date string for viewing the page 
source, e.g,
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal:Current_events/2009_April_1&action=edit
 3. Pick the content of the HTML  element.

Since not documented, i'm wondering whether the above is the expected way of 
accessing the current events in Wikipedia? Or is there a more elegant solution 
for the same task?

TIA,
Shriram
