 * It's about 1400 UTC. Can't honestly say I'm surprised to see it not work atm.  I suspect the best time of day to try might be around 0800 UTC, more or less (which would be 3:00 am where I am, and midnight on the US west coast; at which time, if I'm up at all, I usually don't think of it).  Though I could be wrong about that; maybe some other point on the 24-hour cycle is actually better. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 14:05, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much and Happy New Year! Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs) 14:20, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello? Dino Bronto Rex (discuss • contribs)
 * I did try several more times at different times of day. Naturally I forgot to do so at the times of day I'd been most interested to try. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:38, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's very odd. It just "worked" in the sense that the operation didn't abort.  It only picked up 21 revisions, though.  Not sure what to do with that. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:44, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Urk. It's "worse" than that.  It looks like it actually did bring in lots more than 21 revisions, but it *reported* that it had only imported 21. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:47, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * The revision history looks like a hideous mess, with large numbers of duplicates of particular revisions. However, it seems as if each individual revision is represented many times, which means each is represented at least once, therefore it should satisfy the need to acknowledge all contributors for copyright purposes.  And the window of the operation "working" appears to have closed. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 16:58, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
