I like programming in Perl and C. I know Java and PHP too (I'm a MediaWiki developer), but I can't really say I like them. I keep meaning to learn Python some day, but never seem to get around to it.

I'm working on a Ph.D. in biomathematics. I also like programming puzzles and cryptography.

Please consider any (original) code I post to Stack Overflow (and other Stack Exchange sites) to be released under CC-Zero unless stated otherwise. You may do whatever you want with it and don't have to credit me in any way, although of course that would be nice.

+1, excellent suggestion. I edited your answer to add a code example; I didn't test it, though, so any errors in it should be blamed on me.

comment Should I add a “nofollow” attribute to download links, or disallow the URLs in robots.txt?
While some search engines might abort the request if the MIME type is something they can't handle, disallowing the download URLs in robots.txt would still be a good idea if you don't want them to request those URLs to begin with (e.g. if merely starting the request is expensive, or if it might have side effects you don't want robots to trigger).

comment How to indicate a page is duplicate content when you control its body but not its head?
Google does not recognize rel=canonical links in the document body, precisely because it would be way too easy to inject them into pages that you don't actually control. (Think, for example, of a wiki or other editable web page that doesn't filter out <link> tags.)

Ps. Looks like it's been discussed before. You could also try bringing it up at the Wikipedia admins' noticeboard; since the site is also loading Wikipedia's JavaScript, it would be easy for Wikipedia admins to black it out or otherwise disable it that way, should they want to.

They're also not properly complying with the attribution requirements in Wikipedia's license (CC-By-SA 3.0 / GFDL), and they may also be abusing Wikimedia trademarks (although they could fix both issues fairly easily by changing the footer on their pages). For the former, you could follow the non-compliance process listed on the page svick linked to above (as long as you've contributed some content to Wikipedia); for the latter, it may be best to contact the WMF directly.
