==Proposal to simplify this text--

I propose that this text may be a little too complex for simple: users to understand.

"This wiki requires that you validate your e-mail address before using e-mail features. Activate the button below to send a confirmation mail to your address. The mail will include a link containing a code; load the link in your browser to confirm that your e-mail address is valid."


I suggest the following rewording to make this easier to understand:

"The rules which help us run this wikipedia mean that we need to make sure that your e-mail address, really is yours before we let you e-mail other users, or let them e-mail you. Click on the button under this message to send an e-mail which will allow us to do this. The e-mail will have a link in it containing a special code. Click the link or copy it to your web browser and this will show us that your e-mail address is real and it works."
