Hi. I have a Wikimedia Commons account, among others. I have it configured to "E-mail me when my user talk page is changed" on "my preferences" at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences . Pfctdayelise made an edit http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jeff_G.&diff=prev&oldid=7822617 to my user talk page 11:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC). The e-mail message sent to notify me when that change occurred appears to have entered the Wikimedia email system "Wed, 3 Oct 2007 18:35:46 GMT" (that is, 18:35:46, 3 October 2007 (UTC), 30 hours and 46 minutes later), and carried the following headers (with "x" representing the actual email address used): Received: (qmail 23466 invoked by uid 1000); 3 Oct 2007 18:35:52 -0000 Delivered-To: x Received: (qmail 23456 invoked from network); 3 Oct 2007 18:35:52 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO pre-smtp29-02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net) ([64.202.166.110]) (envelope-sender <wiki@wikimedia.org>) by smtp29.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net (qmail-1.03) with SMTP for <x>; 3 Oct 2007 18:35:52 -0000 Received: (qmail 9582 invoked from network); 3 Oct 2007 18:35:52 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO wiki-mail.wikimedia.org) ([66.230.200.216]) (envelope-sender <wiki@wikimedia.org>) by pre-smtp29-02.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for <x>; 3 Oct 2007 18:35:52 -0000 Received: from srv98.pmtpa.wmnet ([10.0.2.98]:44468 helo=localhost.localdomain) by mchenry.wikimedia.org with esmtp (Exim 4.63) (envelope-from <wiki@wikimedia.org>) id 1Id94U-0005FJ-Oa for x; Wed, 03 Oct 2007 18:35:46 +0000 Received: from localhost.localdomain (srv98 [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.6/8.13.6) with ESMTP id l93IZkYg021979 for <x>; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 18:35:46 GMT Received: (from apache@localhost) by localhost.localdomain (8.13.6/8.13.6/Submit) id l93IZkVd021978; Wed, 3 Oct 2007 18:35:46 GMT Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 18:35:46 GMT Message-Id: <200710031835.l93IZkVd021978@localhost.localdomain> X-Authentication-Warning: localhost.localdomain: apache set sender to wiki@wikimedia.org using -f To: "Jeff G." <x> Subject: Wikimedia Commons page User talk:Jeff G. has been changed by Pfctdayelise MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Mailer: MediaWiki mailer From: WikiAdmin <noc@wikipedia.org> Reply-To: reply@not.possible The previous such notification was the same minute as the event, 11:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC).

The change notification is not being sent immediately on page edit, but during a batch process. Due to some DB problems, the batch queue was filling up and it took some time to process the waiting requests.
