Spamming - a question what the e-mail function of WP is ment for. I was very surprised to get the request though my French is limited, I hardly ever edited on fr.WP, and the suggested topics have totally nothing to do with what I do on Wikipedia. So I do think that the mail was not quite appropriate, and it gives me a not so favorable impression about the people or initiative behind. Kind regards Ziko
