I provided both versions of the XML if you want to muck around with that. I don't think there's much historical value in the control characters. Speaking of historical value, I found the argument between Lars Aronsson and Larry Sanger, which caused Lars to quit and found susning.nu. It happened on May 21. Lars had just spent several days writing dictionary-like articles, and he wrote [[Short words]] to organise the effort. At 12:48, Larry complained about this on [[LA2]], and at 12:53, he created [[Wikipedia is not a dictionary]], which was clearly an attack on what Lars was doing. At 12:54, Lars announced that he was leaving, as a comment on [[Wikipedia is not a dictionary]]. There were several responses. On July 24, Larry erased all the comments from [[Wikipedia is not a dictionary]], and on July 28, he rewrote the original text, toning down the language. Before I found this backup, the earliest version we had of this policy page was from August 17. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
