"Us" and "we"
Hi. Many of your comments refer to "us" and 'we".  Would you please clarify who  "us" and "we" are?  thx Jytdog (talk) 23:25, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks - not sure where you intended me to reply. "We" and "us" refers to the company Scientific Word Ltd., of which I (Christopher Mabb) am a director. We are distributors in the UK of the MacKichan Software family of programs (Scientific Word, Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Notebook); our website is www.sciword.co.uk.

 * If i had wanted you to answer at the article talk page i would asked the question there. i moved your answer here.
 * User talk pages like this, are for discussing general matters or user behavior. article talk pages are for discussing article content. my question was not about article content, so I asked it here. Please read WP:TPG which describes these matters.
 * About the "we" thing. Sometimes people arrive at Wikipedia and think they can share accounts, and use 'we' to refer to the multiple users of the account.
 * If there is a single user of this account, please use "I" and please refer to the company as something else.
 * There is a bunch of stuff that you don't appear to understand about Wikipedia - about what it is and how it works. I have added our standard 'welcome' message above, which has links to help you get oriented.  If you like a more narrative explanation, please see User:Jytdog/How, which I created to help people from companies understand this place.  Please have a read and let me know if you have questions about WP or its policies and guidelines and your place in all that.  Jytdog (talk) 02:44, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

- thanks for your courtesy and helpful links. I appreciate being pointed in the right direction! Christopher Mabb (talk) 23:23, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
