Welcome to Wikipedia! Your articles and edits are very helpful and appropriate; keep up the good work! Feel free to drop me a message at the "talk" link beside my name. --Merovingian ↕ Talk 07:30, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Many of us regular users try hard to make beginners feel at home. --Merovingian ↕ Talk 17:07, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)

Moloch

Older translations render the name of the god "Sakkuth" and "Kaiwan", both associated with the planet Saturn as is the star mentioned in the Biblical references below. Maybe you'd identify the "older" translations and make their association with Baal and Baal's association with Saturn clear. (I see it repeated from website to website but never any reason for this "association".) Wetman 23:32, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Ezra, at Wikipedia we adhere closely to the principle of No Point of View, which means that, for example, we do not blatantly accuse people of things that are the subject of hotly contentious historical disputes. Rather, we state what each side believes and the facts that we know to be true, and let the reader draw his or her own conclusion. Furthermore, it would be nice if you would explain how Molotov and Kaganovich in particular were involved in engineering the famine. Everyking 00:33, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

That's it? They were high up in the system, so they were responsible? I don't want to revert your edits to my versions, but I'm having a hard time thinking of any other way to NPOV them. Can you propose a compromise of some sort? Everyking 01:05, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

OK, you cite all this stuff as coming from Conquest instead of stating it as simple fact, and I will be happy to accept it. I would also appreciate it if you would summarize what Conquest so thoroughly documented. What if the Joseph Stalin article was nothing but the line "He was a mass-murdering thug." What would you think of Wikipedia if you saw that? By the same logic, you need to provide some degree of detail and sources for the claims you have included in the article. I welcome any additions to an article if the additions are NPOV and verifiable. Everyking 01:20, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

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 Ezra. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Ezra~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
