Female Genital Cutting
Hi, you supported a name change, and I don't understand your reasoning. Clearly (see references) the term most frequently used on the topic in current research is Female Genital Cutting, and not Female Circumcision. (See References) Or "Female Genital Cutting" or "Female Genital Mutilation" or "FGC/M"

You also suggest that we should strive for objectivity rather than advocacy. Well, I can respect what you mean, but I feel it is not our job as editors to fight that fight. The term that is most commonly used by the people in that field should be used, and we should not try to be the judges of that. Also, if you were to use that rationale, large numbers of people object to the term "Female Circumcision" on one end of the spectrum, and large numbers object to "Female Genital Mutilation" on the other side. "Female Genital Cutting" IS the objective and neutral term.

Also, do you feel that this report published in 2008 by ten well known NGO's Eliminating female genital mutilation, who used to use the term "Female Genital Cutting" should be overlooked? Why would so many people feel that way? Regardless of how they feel that way, why do so many people in such well known organizations agree to call it that? The fact that so many people desire to call it that is indicative of the way the term is currently used. It may have been 20 years ago that the FC term was more common -- but that isn't the term most people use now.

Thanks for your time, I hope you will reconsider. Atom (talk) 19:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Everyone is entitled to their opinion Atom. Please keep this discussion on Talk:Female genital cutting for continuity of discussion, good form suggest you post comment under another users post with indent. Garycompugeek (talk) 22:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Gary, I understand your concern, and thank you for your comments. I assure you that discussing issues with editors on their talk page is perfectly good form.  My comments above were a polite and well mannered appeal to this editor to reconsider his position.  That was based primarily on a number of his past edits to the article, and his/her obvious interest and concern about the gravity of the topic.  What I desire to discuss with other editors on their talk page, or other forums is not your, or any other  persons business really.


 * This editor can decide for themselves if cordial discussion of a topic is harassment or not. Thanks, and good luck to you in Wikipedia! Atom (talk) 23:23, 15 July 2008 (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 Hssajo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hssajo~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 00:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
