Lowering the edit counts sounds good, it does however also have a
downside, in that it makes it easier to vote using sockpuppets or

Hi Lennart
Would this be related to merely modifying the welcome template or something
a little more encompassing?
One idea that I had was to somehow refer new visitors to WikiProjects or

Great Work, MZ.
One small point, the buttons on foundation wiki redirect to a the page we
get on FWF page on Meta, the edit page has a newly created header that
includes Wikimedia is not associated with Wikileaks. I think the confusion

I didn't like the assumption of bad faith earlier on part of the team, the

different locations and backgrounds. I am from India, Moushirah is from

Well why only African American Wikimedians, I think the issue might be the
