message: I've noticed some of the wording is too close to that in the external links.  It must be reworded, as copyright violations are illegal. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 22:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Haven't checked exactly how closely worded it is, but if it really is a problem then possibly the user who added them can try asking permission. Wouldn't be too surprised if it is given. Mathmo Talk 03:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Copying 

message: Ambleside online states that you need permission to link to them. Would simply having the URL on Wikipedia without the brackets (so that the user would have to copy the URL into the part of the browser that they type URLs into) be acceptable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Naraht (talk • contribs) 18:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahh!  Two License Agreements.  I was looking at the agreement at the bottom of this page.  But as the CM books are separate from the main site - "It is with pleasure that this online version of Charlotte Mason's six-volume book series is provided for public use." and they are public domain, and we are not linking to their curriculum content, and until they are fully available on Wikisource, I do not see a problem using them as a reference.  If I could find a Contact Us link I would ask them. Lame Name (talk) 14:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Where is Bangor, England?  There are two Bangors in Wales, one of which is sometimes erroneously described as being in England, even though it is no where near the English border.  There are two Bangors in Ireland, one in the Republic and one in Northern Ireland.  Is it a section of Liverpool or was Charlotte actually born in Wales or Ireland?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.230.141.75 (talk) 16:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I have boldly done some editing of the article.  I felt that every other line needed a Ref template adding to it as they make claims that cannot be verified without a reference. I removed a couple of the most far fetched claims.  There are a number of sources listed under References section but they are not linked to the text - it would help the article if they could be.
The lead paragraph teases us with "Her ideas led to one of the primary methods of homeschooling." but it never gets mentioned again - so we never do find out the secret.
I could not follow the logic of  "Since Mason lived in England, her students learned French as a second language." but I left it for now.
It is not clear what is meant by "Classical education".  Is it this or something else?

message: I see that a tag has been added saying "The neutrality of this article is disputed. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page." – but I find no relevant discussion and am wondering what part of the article is not neutral. Could anybody indicate just where the problem lies? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 14:13, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the following paragraph -- "Mason and her teachers organised the Parents' Union Scouts for boys and girls around the country, both those educated at home and those at schools using the P.N.EU system (date?). When the Girl Guides were established, Mason suggested that the P.U. Scouts amalgamate with national organisations for boys and girls respectively." -- the words "P.N.EU system" are used. Is "P.N.EU system" an error? Should it not read "P.U. system"? --216.15.56.15 (talk) 14:34, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
