If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

Thanks, maveric. Hopefully your message isn't here because I hosed up an entry! ;)

I am also working on a TWiki web, http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Local/ImcSacramento, and the differnces between this wiki and that one are a bit jarring. (I only started working with wikis about a week ago, and I am coming to the conclusion that I should probably allow plenty of time for "context switching" between the different implementations!)

Welcome to Wikipedia!

I'm only partway through it, but there's an article in _Science_ (not online, as far as I know) trying to analyze what makes suicide bombers and how to prevent it. One thing the author points out is that this is not unique to Islam--there's discussion of the kamikazes as well. In other words, I think there are at least two questions you're looking at: why are some people so anti-US or anti-Western? and Why do those people consider suicide a viable and appealing tactic? Vicki Rosenzweig

Here's the citation you asked for: Last week's issue: "Genesis of Suicide Terrorism" by Scott Atran, Science 299, pp 1534-1539.

Logo problem

Hi, I saw your massage to Mav. There was a problem with the logo, but it's been fixed now and the page protected so that (hopefully) it won't happen again. If you are still seeing the vandalised logo that's a cached copy and you should be able to clear it by clearing your cache and/or forcing a refresh. Regards -- sannse (talk) 17:30, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

As far as I know it was only discussed on Image talk:Wiki.PNG and Image talk:Wiki.png (briefly) and on IRC. The incident seems to have been thankfully brief and not noticed by most. -- sannse (talk) 19:13, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Apology

Earlier today I was trying to sign on under the wrong userid, and I guess I reset your password. Sorry about that. (I would rather they merely send the current password to the registered email account - that would not be destructive.) Jrvz 20:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jrv. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jrv~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)
