User talk:Whistopathe~enwiki

Translation in french

Hello. I'm very happy to see the article being translated into other languages.

• Stocked to the muzzle means that the stock - on other words the woodwork - goes all the way to the muzzle, without leaving the barrel exposed. The American M1903 is a good example of a rifle stocked to the muzzle, while Frensh Lebel Mle1886 is a good example of a rifle that is not (notice how the overside of the barrel is exposed).
• The terms "rimmed ammunition" and "rimless ammunition" descrive two different approaches to make sure the extractor can grab hold of the cartridge and pull it out of the chamber. the difference is explained inthe article Rim (firearms), but I'll try to give a quick explonation here as well.
  • Rimmed ammunition has a rim, or a ridge, at the rear end of the cartrigde. Modern shotgun cartrigdes are always rimmed, as is most ammunition for revolvers. Rimmed ammunition does not work well in automatic firearms for a number of reasons. The British 303 rifle ammunition is rimmed.
  • Rimless ammunition has a grove, or a canelure, at the rear of the cartrigde. Most modern ammunition, at least as far as military ammunition goes, are rimless. The modern 5.56 NATO rifle ammunition is rimless.

Hope this helps =) WegianWarrior 07:02, 2 June 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 Whistopathe. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Whistopathe~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
