Oriental Script?

NightWing · 11-29-2008, 05:27 PM

I just dropped in on the Wiki pages. What is with all the oriental postings? Are we being spammed? I don't know if it is Chinese or Japanese writing, but it isn't readable. I doubt it belongs on the Winni Wiki.

Hmmm, just went there, looked fine to me. Is this the link you used? Could it be your computer?

Try this from our in house Wiki. Go to the Home page and Wiki is on the left in the box.

Yep, looks like spam.

I agree it seems someone is putting nonsense into the Winni Wiki. Has anyone notified Don ?

FWIW : I have to say this is the 1'st time I've even looked at the wiki.

Yup, me too. (FWIW).

It's not exactly "nonsense": the squares that appear are Asian (Kaisho in China) characters that are not converted into the standard Roman letters we are accustomed to viewing.

The title is an attempt to insert a link to a site in China - see the http and the .cn
