13:41:14 < Brownout> looks like the guys at Google are experimenting with some kind of bot on wikipedia
13:41:21 < Brownout> http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Contributions/72.14.220.136
13:41:27 < Brownout> http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Beitr%C3%A4ge/72.14.220.136
13:41:49 < Brownout> http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciale:Contributi/72.14.220.136
13:42:19 < Brownout> and they are causing some trouble with non ASCII chars
14:03:15 < presroi> Brownout: thanks
14:04:16 < presroi> I will ask a friend at google
14:04:23 < Brownout> I'd like to understand what's going on. What an admin is supposed to do?
14:04:25 < presroi> who is subscribed to the wikipedia-google mailing list
14:07:12 < presroi> Brownout: could be some sort of gateway
14:07:48 < Brownout> a proxy? but, it's the same behavior over a long time span
14:10:18 < Raymond_> isn't there a thingy "google accelerator" which works as proxy?
14:11:52 < presroi> google accelerator should not cache edit requests.
14:12:00 < presroi> Lets see and wait what google is answering
14:12:15 < presroi> feel free to block that IP that messes up like this in the meantime
14:12:18 < presroi> (imho)
14:12:37 < presroi> MSIE version 5 for macintosh used to do the same a couple of years ago
14:14:03 < presroi> email sent to the wikipedia/google mailing list
