@cscott - many thanks to you for your help - both in regard to this thread and the work you do for wikimedia as a whole. blessings,

Hello to everyone! I work primarily on the hebrew wikisource site, mostly involved in the religious texts etc. While I can in no way be as thorough or explanative as @Fuzzy regarding the technical elements discussed, I would like to let it be known that the size limit has definitely been a thorn in my side for many years now on a number of projects. As was suggested by some - I of necessity had to split texts into 2 separate pages. One example would be ZOHAR PARASHAT PEKUDEI (a particularly long section).

i'm completely ignorant regarding computer stats -- however i'd like to point out something regarding the suggestino of fewer crawler bots. If you look at thte stats for wikisources here -- http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikisource/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthly.htm -- for the current month of july you'll see a strange thing. besides for the fact that the hebrew, russian, or czech sites are barely reaching half of their average trend of the past half year, the english site has a wopping estimated amount of 106 million! more than 4 X teh average numbers of the past half year. How can it be explained the drastic increase in the english site with the simiultaneous drop in the other sites mentioned above?
