wiki.theppn.org - down? out?

[sayumi_fan]

Any recent news as to when the wiki might possibly return?

Not immediately, but it will be back.  Did you see my post here on the first page of this thread?  If you go to the mm-bbs link, there's a full explanation.

good news everyone, wikitheppn is back

http://wiki.theppn.org/

although some pictures were lost, i'm sure some of you have pics to add to some wiki's

only the current MM group pics were lost, and their wiki might need a bit of editing

^Thats some great news.

now the problem seems to be when you try to edit the wiki, it says you are on an open proxy (127.0.0.1) and you cannot edit the wiki

no one is on an open proxy

hopefully, they can solve this issue so the entries can be edited

yeah I've been having trouble with it too. when I search morning musume wiki at google, it just gives me wikipedia, and also when I was about to enter the berryz koubou one at wiki, it went really really slow and it said this internet page isnt working. it really upset me.....well not to much

Yeah I get the same error.  It won't let me upload pictures either.  Womby only set it up again yesterday, maybe everyone has been blocked for a reason cos he might not have finished setting it all up yet.

It's not down any more, it's back. http://wiki.theppn.org/Main_Page
The only problem is nobody can edit/post new stuff, but all the old info is there.

At the bottom of this page it says "I've been told by a user that it seems only sysops are allowed to make edits currently. ~ Wapiko 12:04, 19 February 2007 (JST)", so that's why nobody can edit the pages currently.

[momo23]

open proxy problems been fixed

now you may edit the wiki's and repost pictures

Great news for us all and everyone who loves J-pop and even other music, idols, the lot!  HUGE tribute to Womby and all his co-workers who must have totally worked their asses off to get it back.  Yeah, we've missed it and it's been incovenient for a few weeks, but look at the thing - it's a huge labour of love, and those guys dserve our absolute WORSHIP.  So let's also all get on there sometimes and contribute to the dam' thing!

Does anyone know why the japanese wikipedia doesnt show pictures?  I'm mainly directing this question to artist pages at the japanese wikipedia. and I don't mean wiki.theppn.

I heard that wikipedia change their policy.  Now only allow open source pictures, which mean fan-taken picture or street capture without copyright.  For Jpop, all pictures from agency even the one that you bought, are copyrighted.  So basically, no more Jpop picture on wikipedia pages. 
     One has to take pictures, clear them with the artist agency, then post on his website with copyright released (open-source pictures).  Who is going to that procedures to post photo on wikipedia?

So the pages will soon fill up with some of those stalker pics?
