I sent you an email but you didn't respond in a timely manner
Although in the "Welcome" message on a new user page it says ""if you have any questions please feel free to contact one of the administrators", for matters of site content it is best not to use the "Email this user" tool, as then the following will happen:


 * 1) there is no record of your message on  itself, which means nobody else can get the benefit of your question
 * 2) it may not get answered as external factors can affect the reliability of response
 * 3) nobody else in the  community is able to contribute towards a cogent answer to your question.

It is best to raise questions about the site itself within itself, either on a talk page relevant to your question, or (at last resort, if for some reason you need to discuss a particular point of issue with a specific user) on the user's talk page itself. --prime mover (talk) 05:12, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
