Database Corruption?

Is anyone else seeing Francisco Melendez as the last editor in this page history?

I tried two small edits (removing a space) and he still appears as the most recent editor, leading one to the mistaken impression that he is removing other folks comments, yet editing the document or purging and refreshing the page shows that is not the case.

I am starting to save the contents of all the articles I work on in separate text files locally on my machine, because if the database is getting corrupted, we could lose all of our content if the backups are corrupted as well.

Please let me know if you see this problem cropping up in this case or elsewhere.

I am seeing it too. I am not sure what's going on — you might want to file a bug at http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org -- IlyaHaykinson 01:58, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
