[00:03] <pir^2> Fluffernutter: yes
[00:03] <johnduhart> I feel bad for whoever had a Featured Article today.
[00:03] <ScottSteiner> anybody with noscript isn't going to notice anything
[00:03] <sodaant> I don't have any issues right now
[00:03] <foks> On monobook
[00:04] <Fluffernutter> That's the problem
[00:04] <Ryulong> yes, monobook
[00:04] <Moe_Epsilon> The last edit before the blackout: Mav at 5:00 (UTC) on [[Talk:Stop Online Piracy Act]] - The reports of my demise are not correct - just taking a break. :)

[00:04] <ScottSteiner> johnduhart: Nick Drake
[00:04] <Fluffernutter> they don't seem to have accounted for monobook, I think
[00:04] <pir^2> "The blackout message is *completely* (emphasis) unreadable"
[00:04] <foks> Vector is shit
[00:04] <Purplewowies> The Blackout screen doesn't work correctly in MonoBook.

[00:07] <Zidonuke> Hazard-SJ:
[00:07] <Hazard-SJ> ScottSteiner: Lol
[00:07] <Zidonuke> rollback was removed
[00:07] * seraphimblade (~chatzilla@c-75-70-184-99.hsd1.co.comcast.net) from United States also in #wikipedia has joined #wikipedia-en

[00:07] <Zidonuke> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=Zidonuke&group=&limit=250
[00:07] <Robert_Skyhawk> I would link [[WP:WPISNOTWIKI]], but seeing as we're blacked out...
[00:07] <Bsadowski1> People are reporting that the Congress data is wrong
03[00:07] * PhancyPhysicist (~charles@cpe-107-9-220-27.neo.res.rr.com) from United States also in #wikipedia #wikimedia has joined #wikipedia-en
[00:08] <Hazard-SJ> Zidonuke: It was unset, but it is still in the database.
[00:08] <Brandan> they're now reporting that?
[00:08] <Aranda56> Scott McDonald decides to protest editing and 30 editors followed because of this blackout :/
[00:08] <Brandan> lol.
[00:08] <guerillero> a new user told another new user to {{Uw-4im}} me for CSDing a page
[00:08] <Hazard-SJ> lol
03[00:08] * GTRsdk (~gtrsdk@unaffiliated/gtrsdk) has left #wikipedia-en ("Leaving")
[00:08] <Ryulong> now
[00:08] <Purplewowies> Y'know... every other time I came in here, it seemed like no one was talking... now, we're all Chatty Cathy!
06[00:08] * Moe_Epsilon deals cards
[00:08] <Ryulong> what do I block in adblock so I can read things
[00:08] <seraphimblade> Aranda56: If you do anything at all worth doing, it will inevitably piss someone off.
[00:08] <guerillero> were the 30 interesting editors
[00:09] <Fluffernutter> monobook issue is fixed, those of you who were having viewing issues
[00:09] <bobrayner> I have a concern. The blackout page is obviously *supposed* to have a message, but in Chrome at least it's small and low-contrast and barely readable. Definitely a problem for readers who face accessibility/readability problems. Where's the best place to get this fixed?
15[00:09] * tashir (4306855a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.67.6.133.90) from #wikipedia-en #wikimedia-sopa #wikimedia Quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
06[00:09] * Sp33dyphil is amused by how many people get on IRC when WP is down
[00:09] <Robert_Skyhawk> Purplewowies: IRC has become the backup source of entertainment for people who normally spend hours editing
[00:09] <Felixggenest_> ciao! have a nice 24 hr :)
[00:09] <taylornate> looks fine to me in chrome
15[00:09] * Felixggenest_ (18c9d19a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.24.201.209.154) from #wikipedia-en Quit (Client Quit)
[00:10] <ty> It looks fine to me as well
15[00:10] * HelloAnnyong (HelloAnnyo@wikipedia/helloannyong) from #wikipedia-en #wikipedia Quit Quit
[00:10] <Aranda56> maybe different areas?
03[00:10] * Cour|nothere (~chatzilla@wikipedia/courcelles) has joined #wikipedia-en
[00:10] <Zidonuke> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
[00:10] <Zidonuke> The most amazing sight ever
[00:10] <ScottSteiner> maybe the blackout will give me a reason to finally fix https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Sealab_2021
[00:10] <Zidonuke> not seeing any edits for more than 1 minute
[00:10] <Aranda56> seraphimblade yea i guess
[00:10] <Keiya> Oh hey, Wikipedia went down and my STO download finished.
[00:11] <Aranda56> i read most of the tech magazines and tbey said SOPA would destroy wikipedia
[00:11] <midori> ryulong: disable js
[00:11] <Ryulong> too much work
[00:11] <SMasters> I can still access my watchlist. Not that there's anything new to see.
[00:11] <Ryulong> just give me the particular js entry that's doing it
[00:11] <bobrayner> hmm, that's odd, the blackout page has now changed to something high-contrast with a buch clearer layout. Must have been a transient thing.
[00:11] <matthewrbowker> bobrayner: Yep, they forgot the backgoround.
[00:11] <Jeske_Merensky> http://arstechnica.com/staff/palatine/2012/01/sopa-resistance-day-begins-at-ars.ars
[00:11] <MyNameWasTaken> Wow, Zidonuke, you're right, that's crazy
[00:11] <matthewrbowker> *background
[00:12] <midori> ...ah, so you can fix it in your user .js ? :D
[00:12] <Ryulong> I need to know what species of penguin is in this photo I've found
[00:12] <Ryulong> no
06[00:12] * Aranda56 don't know how to use js
[00:12] <Ryulong> so I can block it with Adblocker
15[00:12] * mwbrown (~mwbrown@wikipedia/Bluhd) from #wikipedia-en Quit (Quit: Leaving)
03[00:12] * GabrielF (~GabrielF@wikipedia/GabrielF) has joined #wikipedia-en
[00:12] <Fluffernutter> Ok so guys. Lots of channels are going crazy, and we're having trouble monitoring them all. If you see disruption/trolling here, please be proactive about using the ops stalkword to draw the ops' attention to it
[00:12] <sodaant> sure
[00:12] <Ryulong> so I can read shit
[00:12] <midori> Fluffernutter: ...ah, trolling beyond the usual?
[00:12] <slon02> how many phone calls do you think certain politicians will get?
[00:12] <sodaant> plenty
[00:12] <Fluffernutter> the usual too, midori
[00:13] <midori> even mine?
06[00:13] * slon02 feels sorry for those poor staffers and switchboard operators
[00:13] <GabrielF> so it looks like the last edit before we went was to "Biman Bangladesh Airlines" with a summary that said "No more images in this article, please"
03[00:13] * Floydian (~chatzilla@CPE00222d1db7a3-CM00222d1db79f.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) from Canada also in #wikimedia-sopa has left #wikipedia-en
[00:13] <Pharos> typical
[00:13] <Romaine> why is there no banner on en-wiki: "if you pay, Wikipedia will be back" ? ;)
[00:13] <midori> just realized: thankgoodness I'm not otrs right now. x.x
[00:13] <GabrielF> slon02 that's part of their job, people launch phone campaigns all the time
06[00:14] * Hazard-SJ has a blackout now
[00:14] <bobrayner> Ryulong: Which photo? I know a friendly penguin biologist who could help ident... who is probably awake at this time
06[00:14] * Hazard-SJ leaves
15[00:14] * Hazard-SJ (~Hazard-SJ@TestWiki/Hazard-SJ) from #wikipedia-en Quit (Quit: Bye!)

[00:37] <OlEnglish> hey don't scoff at canada :)
[00:37] <slakr> yes, because policies like POINT don't exist if SOPA gets passed; the entire wiki might not even exist

[00:38] <slakr> because it improves the encyclopedia in the long run

[04:55] <CRRaysHead90> Wikipedia is dead :'(
[04:56] <DarkoNeko> uh, the mobile site, sure, but WHO would try to get it from the API ? :)
[04:56] <|Rodejong|> Nope, you can still read it
[04:56] <b_jonas> but that the pages actually load normally and only then a javascript blanks them, and that if you don't have javascript in your browser then NOTHING happens
[04:56] <PeterSymonds> I don't see why it matters.
[04:56] <|Rodejong|> With escape, you can block the java script also b_jonas
[04:56] <b_jonas> DarkoNeko: any other interface for wikipedia that doesn't have a full copy of all the the pages locally
[04:57] <b_jonas> Some people who don't normally have javascript enabled won't even notice that anything's happened.
[04:57] <b_jonas> Look, I don't insist that there should have been a blackout. But once they've announced that there will be, this is a bit sad.
[04:57] <PeterSymonds> I think they will, if you've seen the front pages of most news websites.
[04:57] <DarkoNeko> yeah, I have encountered one of they case
[04:57] <DarkoNeko> -they+such
[04:58] <b_jonas> PeterSymonds: exactly, that's the problem: most people think there'll be a blackout, and now there isn't one.
[04:58] <DarkoNeko> well, there is one for most people
[04:58] <b_jonas> It's like when workers declare a strike and then they cancel it even though they didn't agree in anything.
[04:58] <b_jonas> It sends a worse message than no strike at all:
[04:59] <DarkoNeko> there are also a lot of wikipedians suffering from withdrawal
[04:59] <b_jonas> it tells the government that they're free to set any SOPA laws or whatever this was about, because the websites still won't dare to do anything against it.
[04:59] <DarkoNeko> b_jonas, well, what part of the viewers disable their js ?
[04:59] <b_jonas> Gee, I'm in a rage.
06[04:59] * DarkoNeko sighs and throw the towel
[05:00] <PeterSymonds> The sysadmins and developers ultimately decided the best way to deal with this. The community consensus was to leave an emergency back-door.

[05:03] <Excirial> Just look it up on wikipedia! Eh... Wait.....
[05:03] <PeterSymonds> Hehe.
[05:04] <b_jonas> Excirial: you can't, because (a) the database is now disabled, (b) it's protected.
[05:04] <b_jonas> PeterSymonds: a moment
[05:04] <blha303> search google for the page url with 'cache:' in front
[05:04] <PeterSymonds> I've heard of API but never actually bothered to find out what it meant.
[05:04] <DarkoNeko> or try en.m.wikipedia.org .
[05:05] <wctaiwan> PeterSymonds: basically, I can write a program, and I can give you a set of methods to interact with my program.
[05:05] <b_jonas> PeterSymonds: the API is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page ; but see also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_Special:Export which is a separate mechanism
[05:05] <wctaiwan> using Facebook as an example, they have an API that allows you to post things into a user's streams
[05:05] <b_jonas> in this case
[05:05] <DarkoNeko> actually, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php works
[05:05] <wctaiwan> so if you use that in your program, your program can allow a user to post to their stream, etc.
[05:06] <wctaiwan> ..heh, nvm then.
[05:06] <PeterSymonds> Oh, I think I understand. Thanks.

[05:09] <b_jonas> not even your own userpage.
[05:09] <b_jonas> but if you wait 19 hours, you will be able to edit again normally.
[05:09] <slakr> actually it's not completely read-only; there's a very tiny subset of people still able to edit it
[05:10] <slakr> but for all intents and purposes, yes, it's read-only

[05:13] <|Rodejong|> check the recent changes
[05:13] <|Rodejong|> you can still read the wikipediapages
[05:13] <|Rodejong|> just not edit them
[05:15] <The359> wait, so we can still see the article on SOPA?
[05:15] <The359> Protest fail
[05:15] <Sp33dyphil_> when was it changed from non-viewable to viewable?
[05:15] <|Rodejong|> it never was a total black out
[05:16] <|Rodejong|> It's a java script that redirects you
[05:16] <|Rodejong|> Just press escape after entering the URL
[05:16] <Sp33dyphil_> thanks for the tip
[05:16] <wctaiwan> The359: that's explicitly whitelisted
[05:17] <Sp33dyphil_> What, I can't read [[Project A119]]?
[05:17] <wctaiwan> er.
[05:17] <Sp33dyphil_> only on WP namespace right?

[05:18] <wctaiwan> No. some specifically whitelisted pages are viewable
[05:18] <Sp33dyphil_> where's the list of such pages?
[05:18] <wctaiwan> all the rest would be covered by a window-sized, no-click through javascript banner after being loaded.
[05:18] <wctaiwan> I don't know if there is one, actually
[05:18] <tto> there is a whitelist...

15[05:21] * sDrewth (~sDrewth@wikisource/billinghurst) from #wikipedia-en Quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
[05:22] <The359> Anything on the blackout FAQ about fudging the fact that some people didn't see the banners about discussion or the blackout?
[05:23] <wctaiwan> I'm not sure how they could have done better really.
03[05:23] * sDrewth (~sDrewth@wikisource/billinghurst) has joined #wikipedia-en
[05:23] <wctaiwan> unless you had JavaScript disabled, the banner was visible, logged in or logged out
[05:23] <The359> Nope
[05:23] <wctaiwan> so was the "make your voice heard" banner before it.
15[05:23] * Fifelfoo (~fifelfoo@60-242-186-80.static.tpgi.com.au) (Australia) from #wikipedia-en #wikipedia Quit (Read error: Connection timed out)
[05:23] <The359> It was in Centralnotice
[05:24] <wctaiwan> eh, it was visible to me all the time until I clicked it away
[05:24] <wctaiwan> and you disabled central notice?
[05:24] <The359> Preferences included a gadget which allowed users to "Block Fundraiser notices"
[05:24] <The359> Which in actuality blocked Centralnotice
[05:24] <wctaiwan> ..meh. How many people were affected?
[05:24] <The359> I blocked the fundraiser notice months ago, and hence I never got any Blackout banners
[05:24] <Excirial> Really? Tech mailinglist mentioned that they would give the blackout banner another id to evade that option.
[05:24] <The359> Really
03[05:25] * Fifelfoo (~fifelfoo@60-242-186-80.static.tpgi.com.au) from Australia has joined #wikipedia-en
[05:25] <Excirial> O well.
[05:25] <The359> I never saw a single banner until Prodego killed the gadget about 24 hours ago
[05:25] <The359> And then, it was a tad too late
[05:26] <wctaiwan> saying this as someone who opposes the blackout.. it probably wouldn't make a difference realistically
[05:26] <wctaiwan> Risker said 80% of those who voted were in favour of it.
[05:26] <The359> Still a bit of a stupid mistake
[05:26] <wctaiwan> right, but nothing that'd have changed the outcome, and thus something that could wait until afterwards when we're reviewing what we did correctly and what didn't go well.
[05:27] <wctaiwan> It's remarkably bug-free for something cooked up during such short notice.
[05:27] <The359> It seemed to take less than an hour to figure out ways to circumvent the current banner ;)
[05:28] <wctaiwan> It was intentionally circumventable, as multiple people have repeatedly explained... I'm not complaining.
[05:29] <wctaiwan> I'm using the strict definition of bug: i.e. actual behaviour different from expected behaviour.
[05:29] <The359> I just mean an unplanned circumvention
[05:29] <wctaiwan> in this case, they expected it to be ineffective when javascript execution is somehow interrupted, either because you pressed esc or disabled javascript.

[21:23] <Cyde> As soon as Wikipedia comes back online, who's going to go create the article on the [[2012 Internet blackout protest]]?

08[23:36] <SerialSockpuppet> yep
[23:37] <mattbuck> bi level are fine for long-distance
[23:37] <mattbuck> but they significantly increase dwell time, so aren't suitable for commuter and metro services
[23:37] <Gfoley4> They seat more people...
08[23:37] <SerialSockpuppet> you can do some temporary vandalism on these :P
[23:38] <matthewrbowker> More revenue, then.

[23:39] <mattbuck> they do seat more people, but the stairs mean people take significantly longer to get on and off

[23:41] <mattbuck> so you're doubling the time needing to get on and off at least if you only have single level platforms
[23:42] <funnyfarm299> But the difference should be negligable. Does the entire train get off at a given station?
[23:42] <Gfoley4> Hmm yeah overcrowding could be an issue
[23:42] <Gfoley4> In downtown yes
08[23:42] <SerialSockpuppet> yep
[23:42] <Gfoley4> (ie morning commute)
[23:42] <mattbuck> funnyfarm299, you're doubling the number of people wanting to get off
[23:42] <mattbuck> through the same number of doors

[00:07] <Robert_Skyhawk> I would link [[WP:WPISNOTWIKI]], but seeing as we're blacked out...
[00:07] <Bsadowski1> People are reporting that the Congress data is wrong
03[00:07] * PhancyPhysicist (~charles@cpe-107-9-220-27.neo.res.rr.com) from United States also in #wikipedia #wikimedia has joined #wikipedia-en
[00:08] <Hazard-SJ> Zidonuke: It was unset, but it is still in the database.
[00:08] <Brandan> they're now reporting that?
[00:08] <Aranda56> Scott McDonald decides to protest editing and 30 editors followed because of this blackout :/
[00:08] <Brandan> lol.
[00:08] <guerillero> a new user told another new user to {{Uw-4im}} me for CSDing a page
[00:08] <Hazard-SJ> lol
03[00:08] * GTRsdk (~gtrsdk@unaffiliated/gtrsdk) has left #wikipedia-en ("Leaving")

[00:08] <Purplewowies> Y'know... every other time I came in here, it seemed like no one was talking... now, we're all Chatty Cathy!
06[00:08] * Moe_Epsilon deals cards
[00:08] <Ryulong> what do I block in adblock so I can read things
[00:08] <seraphimblade> Aranda56: If you do anything at all worth doing, it will inevitably piss someone off.
[00:08] <guerillero> were the 30 interesting editors
[00:09] <Fluffernutter> monobook issue is fixed, those of you who were having viewing issues
[00:09] <bobrayner> I have a concern. The blackout page is obviously *supposed* to have a message, but in Chrome at least it's small and low-contrast and barely readable. Definitely a problem for readers who face accessibility/readability problems. Where's the best place to get this fixed?

[00:10] <Zidonuke> not seeing any edits for more than 1 minute
[00:10] <Aranda56> seraphimblade yea i guess
[00:10] <Keiya> Oh hey, Wikipedia went down and my STO download finished.
[00:11] <Aranda56> i read most of the tech magazines and tbey said SOPA would destroy wikipedia
[00:11] <midori> ryulong: disable js
[00:11] <Ryulong> too much work
[00:11] <SMasters> I can still access my watchlist. Not that there's anything new to see.
[00:11] <Ryulong> just give me the particular js entry that's doing it
[00:11] <bobrayner> hmm, that's odd, the blackout page has now changed to something high-contrast with a buch clearer layout. Must have been a transient thing.
[00:11] <matthewrbowker> bobrayner: Yep, they forgot the backgoround.
[00:11] <Jeske_Merensky> http://arstechnica.com/staff/palatine/2012/01/sopa-resistance-day-begins-at-ars.ars
[00:11] <MyNameWasTaken> Wow, Zidonuke, you're right, that's crazy
[00:11] <matthewrbowker> *background
[00:12] <midori> ...ah, so you can fix it in your user .js ? :D
[00:12] <Ryulong> I need to know what species of penguin is in this photo I've found
[00:12] <Ryulong> no
06[00:12] * Aranda56 don't know how to use js

[00:12] <Fluffernutter> Ok so guys. Lots of channels are going crazy, and we're having trouble monitoring them all. If you see disruption/trolling here, please be proactive about using the ops stalkword to draw the ops' attention to it
[00:12] <sodaant> sure
[00:12] <Ryulong> so I can read shit
[00:12] <midori> Fluffernutter: ...ah, trolling beyond the usual?
[00:12] <slon02> how many phone calls do you think certain politicians will get?
[00:12] <sodaant> plenty
[00:12] <Fluffernutter> the usual too, midori
[00:13] <midori> even mine?
06[00:13] * slon02 feels sorry for those poor staffers and switchboard operators

[00:13] <Romaine> why is there no banner on en-wiki: "if you pay, Wikipedia will be back" ? ;)
[00:13] <midori> just realized: thankgoodness I'm not otrs right now. x.x
[00:13] <GabrielF> slon02 that's part of their job, people launch phone campaigns all the time
06[00:14] * Hazard-SJ has a blackout now
[00:14] <bobrayner> Ryulong: Which photo? I know a friendly penguin biologist who could help ident... who is probably awake at this time
06[00:14] * Hazard-SJ leaves
15[00:14] * Hazard-SJ (~Hazard-SJ@TestWiki/Hazard-SJ) from #wikipedia-en Quit (Quit: Bye!)
[00:14] <slon02> still doesn't change the fact that these days suck for them
[00:14] <harej> Romaine: Such a banner would be in really poor taste and it would jeopardize Wikimedia's non-profit status.
[00:14] <Keiya> http://i.imgur.com/YROec.png <- First reaction from someone who didn't already know...
[00:14] <GabrielF> fluffernutter - looks like you were the 11th to last edit
[00:14] <Romaine> harej: I KNOW :p
[00:14] <GabrielF> so close
[00:14] <Fluffernutter> do i get a prize?
[00:14] <GabrielF> not for 11th place
[00:15] <CRRaysHead90> that
[00:15] <Romaine> harej: the common joke on the Dutch Wikipedia when the encyclopedia can't be reached but getting some sort of message is why there is no request for donating money on it
[00:15] <GabrielF> wait, actually you were 4th to last
[00:15] <CRRaysHead90> that's all google did?! I'd figure they'd do something more significant than a doodle.

[00:56] <Moe_Epsilon> being paid handsomly by the many corporations backing these bills would be enough for him to sign
[00:57] <Jeske_Merensky> Keiya) The MPAA is scared.

[00:58] <Brandan> thats not funny.
[00:58] <quanticle> Jeske_Merenksy: The problem is that a lot of the SOPA supporters are in "safe" districts. Let's take Amy Klobuchar, for example. No Republican has even announced their intention to run against her, so secure is her seat. I mean, I can pretty much guarantee that her support for SOPA won't affect her re-election one bit. Minnesota isn't a very ...
[00:59] <quanticle> ... technology-oriented state. Most people here either have no idea what SOPA is, or actually buy into the MPAA's line about it "protecting Amurrican jerbs".

[02:40] <The359> wait a second...
[02:40] <The359> so I can load my watch list
[02:40] <The359> but I can't load any articles
[02:40] <Steven_Zhang> Yes.
[02:40] <juancarlos> I think special pages work.
[02:40] <Steven_Zhang> All special pages work.
[02:40] <Steven_Zhang> Except for random article :p
[02:40] <The359> well what's the point of that
[02:40] <Fifelfoo> Not Special:RecentChanges from .au
[02:40] <TBloemink> And please, keep it gentle in here. Little less swearing please.
[02:41] <juancarlos> I disabled the banners before we went to read-only mode.

[02:42] <Prodego> it would actually hide the blackout too
[02:42] <The359> I thought you disabled it, Prodego

[04:56] <|Rodejong|> Nope, you can still read it
[04:56] <b_jonas> but that the pages actually load normally and only then a javascript blanks them, and that if you don't have javascript in your browser then NOTHING happens
[04:56] <PeterSymonds> I don't see why it matters.
[04:56] <|Rodejong|> With escape, you can block the java script also b_jonas
[04:56] <b_jonas> DarkoNeko: any other interface for wikipedia that doesn't have a full copy of all the the pages locally
[04:57] <b_jonas> Some people who don't normally have javascript enabled won't even notice that anything's happened.
[04:57] <b_jonas> Look, I don't insist that there should have been a blackout. But once they've announced that there will be, this is a bit sad.
[04:57] <PeterSymonds> I think they will, if you've seen the front pages of most news websites.
[04:57] <DarkoNeko> yeah, I have encountered one of they case
[04:57] <DarkoNeko> -they+such
[04:58] <b_jonas> PeterSymonds: exactly, that's the problem: most people think there'll be a blackout, and now there isn't one.
[04:58] <DarkoNeko> well, there is one for most people
[04:58] <b_jonas> It's like when workers declare a strike and then they cancel it even though they didn't agree in anything.
[04:58] <b_jonas> It sends a worse message than no strike at all:
[04:59] <DarkoNeko> there are also a lot of wikipedians suffering from withdrawal
[04:59] <b_jonas> it tells the government that they're free to set any SOPA laws or whatever this was about, because the websites still won't dare to do anything against it.
[04:59] <DarkoNeko> b_jonas, well, what part of the viewers disable their js ?
[04:59] <b_jonas> Gee, I'm in a rage.
06[04:59] * DarkoNeko sighs and throw the towel
[05:00] <PeterSymonds> The sysadmins and developers ultimately decided the best way to deal with this. The community consensus was to leave an emergency back-door.

[05:04] <b_jonas> Excirial: you can't, because (a) the database is now disabled, (b) it's protected.
[05:04] <b_jonas> PeterSymonds: a moment
[05:04] <blha303> search google for the page url with 'cache:' in front
[05:04] <PeterSymonds> I've heard of API but never actually bothered to find out what it meant.
[05:04] <DarkoNeko> or try en.m.wikipedia.org .
[05:05] <wctaiwan> PeterSymonds: basically, I can write a program, and I can give you a set of methods to interact with my program.
[05:05] <b_jonas> PeterSymonds: the API is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page ; but see also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Parameters_to_Special:Export which is a separate mechanism
[05:05] <wctaiwan> using Facebook as an example, they have an API that allows you to post things into a user's streams
[05:05] <b_jonas> in this case
[05:05] <DarkoNeko> actually, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php works
[05:05] <wctaiwan> so if you use that in your program, your program can allow a user to post to their stream, etc.
[05:06] <wctaiwan> ..heh, nvm then.
[05:06] <PeterSymonds> Oh, I think I understand. Thanks.

[05:09] <b_jonas> but if you wait 19 hours, you will be able to edit again normally.
[05:09] <slakr> actually it's not completely read-only; there's a very tiny subset of people still able to edit it
[05:10] <slakr> but for all intents and purposes, yes, it's read-only

[05:13] <|Rodejong|> you can still read the wikipediapages
[05:13] <|Rodejong|> just not edit them
[05:15] <The359> wait, so we can still see the article on SOPA?
[05:15] <The359> Protest fail
[05:15] <Sp33dyphil_> when was it changed from non-viewable to viewable?
[05:15] <|Rodejong|> it never was a total black out
[05:16] <|Rodejong|> It's a java script that redirects you
[05:16] <|Rodejong|> Just press escape after entering the URL
[05:16] <Sp33dyphil_> thanks for the tip
[05:16] <wctaiwan> The359: that's explicitly whitelisted
[05:17] <Sp33dyphil_> What, I can't read [[Project A119]]?
[05:17] <wctaiwan> er.

[05:18] <Sp33dyphil_> where's the list of such pages?
[05:18] <wctaiwan> all the rest would be covered by a window-sized, no-click through javascript banner after being loaded.

[05:22] <The359> Anything on the blackout FAQ about fudging the fact that some people didn't see the banners about discussion or the blackout?
[05:23] <wctaiwan> I'm not sure how they could have done better really.
03[05:23] * sDrewth (~sDrewth@wikisource/billinghurst) has joined #wikipedia-en
[05:23] <wctaiwan> unless you had JavaScript disabled, the banner was visible, logged in or logged out
[05:23] <The359> Nope
[05:23] <wctaiwan> so was the "make your voice heard" banner before it.
15[05:23] * Fifelfoo (~fifelfoo@60-242-186-80.static.tpgi.com.au) (Australia) from #wikipedia-en #wikipedia Quit (Read error: Connection timed out)
[05:23] <The359> It was in Centralnotice
[05:24] <wctaiwan> eh, it was visible to me all the time until I clicked it away
[05:24] <wctaiwan> and you disabled central notice?
[05:24] <The359> Preferences included a gadget which allowed users to "Block Fundraiser notices"
[05:24] <The359> Which in actuality blocked Centralnotice
[05:24] <wctaiwan> ..meh. How many people were affected?
[05:24] <The359> I blocked the fundraiser notice months ago, and hence I never got any Blackout banners
[05:24] <Excirial> Really? Tech mailinglist mentioned that they would give the blackout banner another id to evade that option.
[05:24] <The359> Really
03[05:25] * Fifelfoo (~fifelfoo@60-242-186-80.static.tpgi.com.au) from Australia has joined #wikipedia-en
[05:25] <Excirial> O well.
[05:25] <The359> I never saw a single banner until Prodego killed the gadget about 24 hours ago
[05:25] <The359> And then, it was a tad too late
[05:26] <wctaiwan> saying this as someone who opposes the blackout.. it probably wouldn't make a difference realistically
[05:26] <wctaiwan> Risker said 80% of those who voted were in favour of it.
[05:26] <The359> Still a bit of a stupid mistake
[05:26] <wctaiwan> right, but nothing that'd have changed the outcome, and thus something that could wait until afterwards when we're reviewing what we did correctly and what didn't go well.
[05:27] <wctaiwan> It's remarkably bug-free for something cooked up during such short notice.
[05:27] <The359> It seemed to take less than an hour to figure out ways to circumvent the current banner ;)
[05:28] <wctaiwan> It was intentionally circumventable, as multiple people have repeatedly explained... I'm not complaining.
[05:29] <wctaiwan> I'm using the strict definition of bug: i.e. actual behaviour different from expected behaviour.
[05:29] <The359> I just mean an unplanned circumvention
[05:29] <wctaiwan> in this case, they expected it to be ineffective when javascript execution is somehow interrupted, either because you pressed esc or disabled javascript.

[22:03] <Moe_Epsilon> tjf: hours before the blackout, they were listing websites that were notablly going dark. They didn't mention Wikipedia and called the Cheezeburger websites innovative >:

[22:03] <lucasoutloud> iChan: So, would you like my opinion?
[22:03] <iChan> sure
[22:03] <LL2|JedIRC> In other news, PETA went so far with the Mario protest as to create a flash game with graphics that are ripoffs of nintendo graphics
[22:03] <tjf> God, they're so stupid

[23:46] <mattbuck> I wish I could see colbert :(
[23:46] <mattbuck> can't watch it in the uk
[23:46] <harej> Trains with an upstairs and a downstairs? New Jersey Transit has some of those in their rolling stock.

[23:47] <Pederast> driven through it numerous times
[23:47] <Gfoley4> Heh
[23:47] <Pederast> smells like shit the entire way through
[23:48] <Pederast> once you pass into NY things are normal again
[23:48] <LtNOWIS|TV> Fun fact: In 2005, a lot of Star Wars articles were removed from Wikipedia.
[23:48] <Pederast> maybe its the dirty italians im smelling or something
