It's also confusing that the message is translated, leading recipients to assume the list is interlingual.It would be better to send the main message in English, adding a short message at its beginning in the recipients' languages that this message is for English speakers, and apology if recipient doesn't read it. Just my 2 cents.

Hi Ronnie, 

the message for joining the Wikisource User Group, among other news, 

was prepared by me (Aubrey) and Micru and translated by other fellow users in different languages. 

We did not send the message to all users of all wikisources, but we used Wikisource user statistics 

to select active users. 

You can find the list here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_message_delivery/Targets/Wikisource_contributors

The message sent is here:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_User_Group/Invitation

Unfortunately (from what I can understand), EdwardsBot sign himslef as a bot, so this probably led to some confusion.

sorry for that.

Vad var det för ett ljushuve som kom på den briljanta iden att  skicka ut ett meddelande till

varenda Användardisk på hela Wikisource?
