Emails
Hi Barbara. I'd strongly advise against listing your email address on your userpage - Wikipedia, being a high traffic site, is regularly trawled by spambots hunting for email addresses to send their wares to. If you want to be contacted by email, the best solution is to enable email in your User Settings (under the "My preferences" menu at the top right of your screen) and put a note on your talk page that you are happy to be emailed. Other users can then send you a message via the "Email this user" link in the Toolbox (&larr; over there). This is much safer and more secure - and also won't show let other users know your email address, unless you reply to their email directly. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 08:18, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
