RE: vandalism in holocaust article
Hi there! I'd be happy to help in any way I can. First, one must recognise that since anyone can edit Wikipedia anonymously, all sorts of articles are vandalised (most are popular search terms like "George W. Bush", "Wikipedia" "New York Yankees", "Britney Spears"). You can find a complete list of articles that are semi-protected, where newly registered and anonymous users (IP's) cannot edit at Category:Semi-protected. You can view the nature of the vandalism to The Holocaust article by viewing the article's history, which can be accessed by clicking the tab at the top of the page labelled "history". The vandalism to the Holocaust article seems to have been stemming from unique IP's; that is, different anonymous users from all over (you can "whois" the IP's to find out where in the world the user is editing from if you are curious to see any possible trends in the location of users vandalising the article). You can view the exact nature of the vandalism by clicking on the "diff" when viewing the article's history. This can be seen by clicking (last) next to the version you wish to see. This is the last instance of vandalism before the article was semi-protected, and consists of the user blanking a section and inserting a Hitler proclamation. Per my own brief overview of the nature of the vandalism, it seems as if the users vandalising were blanking sections and/or adding anti-Jewish rhetoric. A bot was not doing the vandalism, as far as I can tell and I think that some people with anti-Jewish prejudices target articles like these to insert hate speech. The same logic applies to lots of controversial articles, some that are not racially, ethnically, or politically charged. Some people vandalise the Britney Spears article because they don't like her personality or music, and some people vandalise the New York Yankees article because they don't like how they have a much larger payroll than the other professional baseball teams. I hope this helps, and please don't hestitate to contact me again with any other questions you might have. Good luck! hoopydink Conas tá tú? 16:00, 21 September 2006 (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 Jerekson. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jerekson~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 00:40, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
