feedback
Please take the following as positive feedback. I like that you take the time to "surface" the pages again. So they get attention again. If we invest besides adding the templates a few mins, we can help WV better. That surely will also help increase your awareness by others here (who knows - might be you are interested in this :-)), Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 18:01, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

About Antoine Lavoisier
thanks for your help - through you I saw this :-) What do you think about this ? What can we do ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 17:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure, perhaps you could see if other's are interested in finding out what they could do with the article. DarkMage  17:40, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you follow the above link you arrive here. So, there could be done something already. And then we coudl ask the community what they think aboutthe page. What do you say ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 17:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's possible that something could be done - though I had read the section, which you've suggested - but I don't see how I could help, I mainly prefer to do small edits not large ones - the last time I did create articles or expanded some over on Wikipedia, I slightly went into problems. with my former username.  DarkMage  18:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It might be wise at the moment for me to perform minor edits, like recent Changes patrol, and minor corrections or edits - within time then maybe I'll start to join various projects and assist them - though if user's discuss issues of what to do about the article on the talkpage then I'll voice my opinion, but not straight away - it's best not to rush things through.

Forget what I said, just do what you like here Dark Mage. That is always best. Any help of yours is welcome. I will handle the above. Just continue as you like, ok ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 18:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine - I will go back to those pages, but not straight away. DarkMage  18:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

About Compromise of 1850
When you follow the link on that page you can arrive to here. What do you think we should do ? Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 18:01, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I followed the link and it states that the entire website is copyrighted - the law states (e.g British law) that any copyrighted material which are found released without the owners permission must be removed, I'm not sure if the American law states that - but without the actual approval of the owner of the material, it might be wise to remove that article - Wikipedia has had a number of issues of copyrighted material which they themselves had slightly received a bad reputation from a number of business and of the General public - I personally don't want this site to get into problems with those issues, but it might be wise to ask either on IRC or on the Colloquium which everyone including those who cannot use IRC could express their views and maybe even the person who placed that material will respond.

 * here's the link to the British Copyright Law, I'm not sure about the American law though - it maybe different. DarkMage  18:39, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Email
Hi Terra. Would you like a add an email address to your account so that you can be emailed? --McCormack 07:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've got an e-mail address already in the Preferences for Security reasons - as with the Enable E-Mail this user feature I'll keep it disabled, for my own Security - I prefer not to reveal my e-mail address, even if I'd had the feature enabled I'll not respond to the e-mail since it'll reveal my e-mail - if any user wants to send me a message then they could post it either on my Wikiversity talkpage or on my main meta account, why do you ask anyway. DarkMage  10:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So far as I'm aware, if you enable email to be sent to you via mediawiki, your email address is not revealed to the sender at any time. You can reply by using the "e-mail this user" function on your correspondent's page - this would ensure that a reply does not reveal your address either. --McCormack 10:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * What's the reason for this anyway, why do you want me to enable the e-mail feature - which I'll still have disabled. DarkMage  10:46, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I said "would you like to...". It was intended as a kind invitation. Perhaps I wished to be helpful. Anyway, you'd have had to activate it to find out ;-) I'll go back to sleep now. --McCormack 10:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * hmm, this wouldn't be because of the How to be a Wikimedia sysop article would it, which my old username is still on the participants list - if you want me to I could update my old username with my current username, if that's what your referring to since you've mentioned this right after you've edited that particular article. DarkMage  10:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * To discover the answer to the mystery, you will have to activate your email. --McCormack 12:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
