108 Wikipedias had their logo updated

As you may remember, in 2010 the Wikipedia puzzle logo was updated: 
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia/2.0>
The localisation and update of logos has always been a volunteer-driven 
effort, organised mostly by Casey at the time. Building on his work,[1] 
in the last 6 months over 100 Wikipedias had their logo updated,[2] with 
the last batch yesterday.
Like the 55 Wiktionaries in December,[3] many of those wikis have never 
had a localised before; the others were still using the v1 logo or had 
some other breach of the visual guidelines.
Many thanks to all the translators and users checking the new logos, and 
to the tireless Odder who drew some 66 of those logos and uploaded even 
more in the process of doing so. Again, you can still help by adding 
translations and reporting errors on the coordination page.[1]

 *What is Qwikipedia?*

Ever been on Wikipedia to look up an article? More often than not, we start
with one topic, click a few links and within no time are reading about
something else.

Qwikipedia is a game that tries to quench this curiosity in us. The
objective is to get to a particular wiki page, starting from a specific
article, using minimal clicks. There is no single correct answer, so we
might surprise ourselves by finding new routes each time!

Dear Isidore, Pls see if you can translate some of these... it would be

Request for help to all Toolserver users: list the tools you want to keep

Request for help by Wikimedia Deutschland also posted on

<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Future_of_Toolserver#Request_for_help_to_all_toolserver_users>: 
of relevance for all Wikimedia projects users.

-------- Messaggio originale --------
Oggetto: Information on Tool Labs/ Your help needed
Data: Thu,  7 Mar 2013 10:26:51 +0000 (UTC)
Mittente: Silke Meyer

Hello!

You are getting this e-mail because you have an active or expired
account on the toolserver.

As you might know, Wikimedia Foundation is building a cloud-based
infrastructure (Labs/Tool Labs) that - in the long run - will be a
replacement for the toolserver. Don't worry! The toolserver will be not
just be switched off. WMF and WMDE would like to support you as good as
possible when it comes to migrating tools. There will be enough time for
this process. We will offer different forms of support which you will
hear of soon.

Right now, Tool Labs is not ready. WMF staff, mainly Marc Pelletier is
building it. You might have seen the general list of needed and wanted
features [1]. For many of you crucial features are database replication
and user databases. Both are upcoming features in the nearer future.

Your tools and their dependencies are taken into account to build the
new infrastructure. This is why I am asking you for help:

Only 6 accounts from same IP?

Hi, my name is Rexford

I wish to find out why wikipedia allows only 6 account creation from a
network sharing the same IP address.

I never knew something like that existed.

I'm currently doing a Wikipedia training session and many will like to
create accounts on Wikipedia but we're being blocked.

Any reasons? How to bypass that?
