thanks for the heads-up. A piece of additional (and non-requested) advice: 1. As a general rule, when warning about forged emails, if you reply to the original email or include content from the original email, eliminate any non-textual content (e.g. images) and any malicious links. Keeping them only increases the possibility of somebody clicking on them by mistake, and the non-textual content can be used as a tracking method. 2. try to limit as much as possible responding to the original thread, because it keeps the forged email up / highlighted in people's inboxes. This includes the fact that if somebody already pointed out that an email is spam/forged, it is better not to reply saying "that's right!" or "thank you". Open a new thread instead and let the spammy email being buried in your inbox forever. :-) Ciao, Cristian _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
