 ===== Frequently Asked Questions =====
-**Cannot import files**
-It shows:// Error: XML Parser Error -1// while I try to import a xml.bz2 file. Should I check the MD5 of the files?
+====WikiTaxi_Importer.exe stops and shows "Error: XML Parser Error -1"====
-** What are the WikiTaxi command line parameters? **
+There are at least two reasons why this can happen:
+**1.** Wrong input file. Wikipedia offers many different xml.bz2 dump files with different contents. WikiTaxi needs the correct one, and only one of them. The file name must follow this pattern: ''wikiname-yyyymmdd--pages-articles.xml.bz2'' where
+  * ''wikiname'' is the name of the Wiki, i.e. enwiki, dewiki, simplewiki.
+  * ''yyyymmdd'' is the export date, like 20200720.
+Examples:
+  * simplewiki-20200701-pages-articles.xml.bz2
+  * enwiki-20200701-pages-articles.xml.bz2
+This file is a single file only, not multiple files. Depending on the Wiki, it can be many gigabytes in size.
+**2.** WikiTaxi has not been updated for a long time. It is possible that Wikipedia has since changed the file format of the dump file so WikiTaxi cannot read it anymore.
+The same is true for the Wikipedia syntax. There are new elements which WikiTaxi cannot handle and instead shows them as plain text.
+Thanks, my previous file is multistream version, and the correct file can be imported easily.
+====What are the WikiTaxi command line parameters?====
