Hi,

We seem to have some trouble with many spammers. Can we do something to prevent them to get an account?

For example, we could let users reconfirm their wish to get an acount by email, There are several possibilities, see e.g. [1], [2]. --Ulf Rehmann 23:44, 20 January 2012 (CET)

Typical solutions tend to be broken by newer spambots. Something like this could be more effective. --Boris Tsirelson 07:56, 21 January 2012 (CET)

Something is wrong

I try to edit Convergence of measures as usual (just adding MSC and category); but as a result the page becomes empty. (Twice.) --Boris Tsirelson 16:26, 7 February 2012 (CET)

I cannot confirm this: I edited the page twice, the first time under my admin account, and by adding MSC, the second time under my account TestUser with just ordinary user permission, and by adding the tex category "TeX wanted". Everything worked fine, as it seems. --Ulf Rehmann 19:00, 7 February 2012 (CET)
Rather mysterious. I got it again, this time on Cramér theorem. I added
{{MSC|60F10}}
[[Category:Limit theorems]]
did "Show preview" (nothing strange here) and then "Save", and got the empty page! --Boris Tsirelson 20:08, 7 February 2012 (CET)
