[edit] No subject really

Thanks, HHH, for your kind words of welcome.

I haven't got very far here yet - though I've found the style guide, which is very good. And when I've read it properly I'll be able to recast sentences to avoid ugly words like 'which'.

Maybe I should make a few silly spelling mistakes so I can learn how to corrext then?

Also, I must figure out how these signature things work.

Looks like you've got the signatures down pretty well, as for spelling mistakes, I suggest Mozilla Firefox, it has a built in spell check. Happy shark-hunting - HammerHeadHuman (talk) 19:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response

Thanks for your email. The changes you have made are certainly an improvement; the section on intentionality was badly needed. My only comment would be that the best way to avoid having your work removed is to reference it well. Generally the Searle article falls well-short of the expected standard; a self-criticism, since it is substantially my own work. But if you have a copy of Intentionality to hand, it might be worth your while to include a few page numbers in your entries. See Wikipedia:Citation templates for info, and Ludwig Wittgenstein for an example of how it might be done. Best wishes, and may the Trolls not notice your excellent work.
