 2020-02-18, 15:22 #122 storm5510 Random Account     Aug 2009 U.S.A. 24×67 Posts I found an additional four primes overnight. I have placed the new ones in my template and updated the other info. This is not showing in the table yet. Is this an automated process?

I've corrected the k=98475 page: - no need for "Last update" -> it's in the template parameters - history: last on top - checked for twins and added the comments

No hurry as long as it gets done. Some of the inactives have the "Last Update" at the top. Understood about the history. Twins is something I did not think about. Hopefully, I can get to a point where you do not have to go behind me and correct things!

 2020-02-18, 17:51 #125 kar_bon     Mar 2006 Germany 1010110000102 Posts Testing for twins is easy. - for possible twins the Riesel k-value has to be divisible by 3: 98475 check - running LLR will create a result file with found primes with pairs like the original sieve file like Code: 100000000:M:1:2:258 98475 1056 98475 1127 - edit this file as follows (first line) (explanation see the Readme.txt -> Appendix from LLR) -- change the "M" into "P" -- change the "258" into "257" - run this file with LLR again, use different result file then The new result file contains (if exist) the twins. I will change the Last update, where it's not needed.
 2020-02-20, 16:00 #126 storm5510 Random Account     Aug 2009 U.S.A. 24·67 Posts A couple of quick questions, and two possibly other registered uses may have considered: My current reservation is k = 98475. Is it possible for another registered member to change my data while it is reserved? What if someone decided to attempt to delete items from an unreserved k?

First question: Yes, it is possible. It would be considered poaching, if they find a prime above the region you are searching. Or vandalism if they change the values of n that yield primes.
Second question: One can easily go back to an earlier revision of the page, using the view history button and then use the undo links to roll back to that revision.
As to disciplining the person that would do such a thing, I'm not sure what would happen. kar_bon would know, though.

 2020-02-20, 21:44 #128 kar_bon     Mar 2006 Germany 2×34×17 Posts The Wiki needs a registered user who is logged in to make any changes of any page. As said undoing changes is no problem because of the history. If any user vandalize the Wiki he will be warned or blocked for a certain time or at all. This is a Wiki for collecting results in serious prime hunting and related not for kids leaving their footprints in a social media as it's sadly common in these days. And again: As admin I have to confirm every edit by any user in the Wiki, so such things will be spotted and reacted as needed. On the other hand: any reservation done in the Wiki is no warrenty for you that others could search the same thing and find primes. This happend also in this forum years ago where RPS k<300 were searched by others and 'stole' primes then. You'll never be free from such behavior.

I believe the "registered" users of PrimeNet would have far more integrity and self-respect than anyone who would poach. At least, I hope so.
