Emailing

Hi. I got your note at my talk page, and I thought I'd drop you a bit more about e-mailing.

In the side panel of every Wikipedia page is a box that says "toolbox." The contents of that toolbox vary according to what kind of page. In every user or user talk page where a contributor is e-mail enabled, one of the tools says "E-mail this user." I can tell that you have properly enabled your e-mail, because I see the option on yours. I see the option at User talk:Þadius as well. E-mail is not a common method of communicating with article creators. Generally, this is done at the user's talk page. However, while articles have creators and contributors, they do not have "owners," which is why there is no prominent "contact the author" button. The whole purpose of Wikipedia is to provide an experimental forum where the public pools its resources to create content. This is one of the reasons that articles are not signed.

The contributor of this article may not have a strong personal interest; he or she has authored 131 articles on Wikipedia, and might simply have created it to fill a need. Whether or not the contributor is watching the article (I myself watch only a fraction of the articles I've written or to which I've contributed, but even so have 932 pages on my "watchlist"), he will have seen your note on his or her talk page by now. His edit history shows that he has edited multiple times since you left it, as recently as today. It may be that he would rather not explain who he is or why he is interested, which is within Wikipedia's policies. We do permit anonymous editing.

If you simply want to find out about the content that you believe is wrong, you may want to communicate with him again, focusing on that specific issue. He may be more prepared to discuss that. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:48, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
