    Thanks Hal, I'll try that.

    Rick, I haven't tried the Wayback yet; but I have to say, in a Murphy's Law kind of way, whenever I want to use that, it never has the page I want. It did occur to me though.

    I also wanted the pocket Wikipedia just for the utility, as my LifeDrive is NOT cellular and only connects to Wikipedia with a WiFi connection. It wasn't just for the one article.

    Varjak, I suggest you PM Raspy. I remember he has done this Wikipedia thing in the past, and he knows the quirks of the subject.

    Varjak, have you tried the Wayback Machine, aka Internet Archive?

    Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

    at the main page, enter the current wikipedia URL for the article that was mucked with. I ran a quick test for "james tiberius kirk" and it seems to have worked.

    Yes to both-- paid and not for Palm OS. See link in my previous post.

    Is WikiPock a paid 'app' of some kind? If it is, I'd consider buying it. But it sounds like it's not for Palm OS.

    You may be thinking of WikiPock. The last version of the database for WikiPock is August 2010 (probably a new one coming soon). The data is not in an extractable format. I would essentially have to try to get screenshots of everything, which if it involves a lot of sub-links could be a pain. I'm willing to try and see how big a task it is.

    I really thought that someone else had posted more recently about an available WikiP download.

    Adama, somehow all that stuff is not just 'edited' but GONE. There obviously was some kind of big fight that I missed, the destroyer was banned, but the data is gone. When I go back to the version where the links are 'live' to sub-articles, the sub-articles are gone, and no old versions are extant. When you click on those links, it takes you back to the current version of the main article.

    Varjak, why don't you simply look at the article history? Wikipedia archives all of the edited versions of their articles, so if someone deleted part of one, you can go back to a point before they deleted it and not only read the data, but to restore it.

    Tombraider has a larger version they made of the 2008 encyclopedia but has not made if available for palm even though there web site states that they will have a palm friendly version soon. Soon meaning whatever, because I emailed them around a year ago about that statement as I did today.
