When you type "unicorns and glitter" into Google Image Search, you get lots of unicorns, a few pictures of glitter, some pictures of Flo from Progressive Insurance, and some pictures of people trying to impersonate Flo from Progressive Insurance.
More good reasons not to type "unicorns and glitter" into... Well anything. ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H

There are a number of law-breaking clones of Stack Exchange sites popping up that use SE's cc-wiki data without following our Creative Commons attribution terms. Those terms are linked at the bottom of every SE webpage, and are also included as a .txt file in every data dump we produce.

FYI, to pass the content attribution test you need: A link on the page to SO, name and link to their SO account of the users who posted the question and answers, and a link back to the original SO post
@TimYiJiang By the way, in complete disregard to your suggestion to find something that already exists, I went ahead and started writing a JavaScript wrapper for the 2.0 API...so far so good in using that for the elections page, but I guess we'll see. :P
Don't posts turn into community wiki after 10 edits automatically?
There's an answers which had 109 edits but it's not community wiki. I could have sworn it was community wiki a few weeks ago but now it's not... did anything change in the system?
@jadarnel27 one mod just told me that it was flagged to be turned into cw recently ... I assume they'd know about it if it was flagged before for cw to be removed.
There's no record of it ever having been community wiki. Unless manual removal of CW just removes the original CW convert notice rather than adding a new notice of its removal, it never was.
Yeah, I don't see that either. The two rules for CW (that I was thinking of) say "The body of the post has been edited by at least five (5) different users." OR "The post has been edited ten (10) times by the original owner."
@animuson This is actually the case, if I recall correctly. Not that it doesn't leave any trace at all (this has a specific post history type), but the interface acts like it never happened.
Heh, interestingly enough the API chokes trying to return the history entries for that post. I wonder if that's why...
Attempting to access the revisions route for a post with a large number of revisions seems to result in an internal error.
Example on Meta Stack Overflow (Post History)
Example on Mathematica (Post History)
Posts with smaller numbers of revisions work correctly, even up to 45 changes.
I took this picture of the full window chrome in Chrome so that the juxtaposition of the banner across the page shows. I've also included one from math.se (where I knew I wasn't recently logged in) to show the juxtaposition. I have always had this issue on StackApps that I can recall.
While I...
