Also en:Galveston, Texas and en:Talk:Galveston. The two article pages are redirects to each other at present! -- Huttite 04:46, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)

Happens to me too. Hypatia 18:25, 2 Jan 2005 (EST)

As a temporary fix, I copied the historic content to Galveston, the linked all the article pages there. I did not change user pages as they relate to this issue. When a solution is found for the original problem it can be changed to point to the correct article or be moved back to en:Galveston. -- Huttite 19:55, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

en:Houston's buggered too. (Another circular redirect, this time with en:Houston, Texas). I flipped through the other pages linked directly from en:Texas, and those appear to be the only two that need to be fixed. --Neil 03:59, 3 Jan 2005 (EST)

Can't revert en:Houston either as I get an Internal Server Error there too when trying to save the page. I will try the same solution. -- Huttite 20:02, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

Temporary fix is Houston. Content copied from the newest historic en:Houston page with content. -- Huttite 20:43, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

Temporary fixes in place. I assume to fix this properly the SQL database will need to be rebuilt as it sounds like a serious database error! A quick fix might be to delete en:Houston and en:Galveston BUT that would mean all the page history would be lost! Propper solution would be to roll back the last edits on the faulty pages and make them be redirects to the current articles. -- Huttite 20:43, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

I think the problem is the circular redirect. I don't think it's dramatic, and I think it's in the 404-caching code. I'm aware of the problem; I'm afraid I can't fix it until next week. I don't see a good reason to erase the history of these articles. --Evan 22:20, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

Maybe export the page using with whole history, delete it and recreate. If import works (admin only function?), should preseve edit history. -- JanSlupski 15:36, 10 Feb 2005 (EST)

Bizarre -- everything else works fine, but if I try to save or preview changes to Luang Prabang, I get "The document returned no data". If somebody else can make this work, please move the content of en:User:Jpatokal/Sandbox to the page in question... Jpatokal 21:19, 17 Mar 2005 (EST)

And yes, this is a case of circular redirect. When's next week coming up? 8) Jpatokal 05:40, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

Now en:Redang, en:Pulau Redang and en:Redang Island have been sucked into a similar maelstrom. Aargh! Content rescued here → en:User:Jpatokal/Redang. Jpatokal 09:34, 1 May 2005 (EDT)

I don't get "The document returned no data" or "internal server error" - I get "connection is broken". I tried to save a previous version of Luang Prapang, then I went back through Jpatokal's edits and found his last edit to that page, tried to revert it, and got the same error. -phma 00:54, 27 Sep 2005 (EDT)
