Abortion

Feel free to fix the article! :) fr33kman ^talk 21:54, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I gave it shot. Feel free to change/revert anything that doesn't seem correct. It's difficult trying to write about a complex and divisive subject like abortion in simple English. But, when the article uses a lot of technical terms like "menses" instead of lay terms like "period," I didn't see a reason to use "unborn child" instead of "embryo" and "fetus."

I also edited the article. You're completely right in that "unborn child" is not neutral and I've changed that. I'll work on it some more. Feel free to continue to work on it also. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! All the best. fr33kman ^talk 04:27, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello there, just very quickly: I am aware that "unborn child" is perhaps not the best term to use. However, as I pointed out on the talk page of the article, using "foetus or embryo" (or variations) as a replacement is not the solution either. No matter which term we choose, we will need to face criticism; I chose "unborn child" because it is easier to understand. For most people who read the article, the information whether what is aborted is a "foetus" or an "embryo" is probably unimportant (on the other hand: it is not even there, because both terms are used together all the time); Also, do you think it would be worth mentioning that in some countries aborted embryos (and foetuses) are used for stem-cell research? - Is there an other term we could use (because, as I said, using foetus/embryo all the time is awkward and does not really add information)? --Eptalon (talk) 11:40, 16 July 2009 (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 Sometimes. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Sometimes~simplewiki 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
