Regarding the Stradivarius
Hello John, and I'm sorry if I've offended you. Regarding the documents that you wish to provide to Wikipedia, I'm not sure myself how you would go about doing it, but I intend to get some help. There is a link on the left of the page, under "Special Pages", namely "Upload File" that enables you to upload files to Wikipedia, but I'm not at all sure that is the proper way to do it. I'll get back to you. --Atavi (talk) 10:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello again John Thornton. I apologize for not assuming good faith on your part. You might be interested in editing the article Lauterbach Stradivarius providing citations and documents. I think that for now uploading files as I've discussed above will have to do.--Atavi (talk) 12:00, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and no offense was taken. I would never intentionally mislead anyone regarding such a serious matter. When and if I can figure out how to upload photographs of the documents from the Berlin archives and from the roll of microfilm #20 PO52 from M1949 of the MFAA archives, I will do so. Thanks, John.
