Hello. I agree with what you intended when you changed

Civil law is any of three different bodies of law:

to

Civil law has at least three meanings.

But when you're writing about a term rather than using the term to write about what it refers to, it should be italicized. Thus "A dog is an a animal", but "Dog refers to an animal". Usually it's better to write about the thing than about the term that refers to the thing, but of course when divergent meanings are involved (as in this case) or when you need to say that the term is misunderstood or offensive or something like that, then you need to write about the term rather than about the thing the term refers to.

[edit] RfAr

Hey, Mk270, nice evidence in the Antifinnugor RfAr. It looks like there's a bit of a problem with the diffs at "more mischaracterisation of edits". Best, Bishonen | Talk 23:06, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Intellectual Property

Just a note to invite you to wade back in to the IP article - I've proposed a new lead paragraph that I hope can resolve the matter. I agree with your views.Bryan 16:11, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
