Will there be an archive for the newsletters? I'm thinking some editors may want to read it but not sign up? Thanks. 64.40.54.53 (talk) 06:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

They haven't yet; the deployments we're working on have completely borked the advertising schedule :(. Expect to see a lot more work here immediately after Wikimania (12-14 July). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 11:29, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Terrorism

Terrorism is any act designed to cause terror.Terrorism is generally understood to feature a political objectiveThe word "terrorism" is politically loaded and emotionally charged. "Terrorism" comes from the French word terrorisme,and originally referred specifically to state terrorism as practiced by the French government during the 1793-1794 Reign of terror. The French word terrorisme in turn derives from the Latin verb terre? meaning "I frighten". The terror cimbricus was a panic and state of emergency in Rome in response to the approach of warriors of the Cimbri tribe in 105 BC. The Jacobins cited this precedent when imposing a Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. After the Jacobins lost power, the word "terrorist" became a term of abuse. Although "terrorism" originally referred to acts committed by a government, currently it usually refers to the killing of innocent people for political purposes in such a way as to create a media spectacle. This meaning can be traced back to Sergey Nechayev, who described himself as a "terrorist". Nechayev founded the Russian terrorist group "People's Retribution" (???????? ????????) in 1869. In November 2004, a Secretary-General of the United Nations report described terrorism as any act "intended to cause death or serious bodily harm to civilians or non-combatants with the purpose of intimidating a population or compelling a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act". -- Preceding unsigned comment added by M.Hassam Cheema (talk o contribs) 10:54, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
