Talk:Private message

message: Hi all,
is it possible for someone to answer my question regarding 'Private Messages' on forums?  
Is it illegal/legal for Administrators to view member's PM's on a forum if a problem is suspected or pointed out to them by another member?
Cheers,
Pete.

thread_title:  Wikipedia 

message: I like this article especially the introduction paragraph. Editors give a well-round definition of PM(personal message) and precisely grasp two key characteristics of personal message, privacy and efficiency. However, some parts of the article might need to be more clear and complete. 
First, the introduction part in some degree separated personal message into two types: social platforms and private messaging services. It may neglect that some social platforms have private messaging services and private messaging services also have some sort of social aspect function. These two types are hard to distinguish because each has the other's characteristics. 
Second, the history part concentrates too much on emails and social media. As a result, letters, telegraph or other kind of personal messages are not mentioned in the article. If editors can add history of other possible types of personal messages to the this part, readers will have the opportunity to get more complete and comprehensive information from this.
Third, "Social media" section and "Etiquette of personal messaging" can be combined into one section like "modern personal messages" to cover a wider range of topics of personal messages and avoid unclarity caused by those two highly related sections.
Despite some tiny problems, you guys did a really good job. Good luck to your rest of the course. Wzc369Wzc369 (talk) 20:57 24 March 2014 (UTC)
i'm also kind of new to editing articles here, but you could probably just do it yourself, you know... looks like over 5 years have passed and there was little to no editions, given what you speak about here is still relevant today, so it's kind of a shame nobody bothered to do it so far!
i, for one, won't. i'm already glad you commented though, because it gives very good insight in things that i intuitively knew that could be fixed or improved there. so, i actually just wanted to say a very long thank you!
and cheers. :) cregox (T | C)  08:19, Thursday 2019-10-17 (UTC) 08:19, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Peer Review

message: I noticed that this article seems to primarily only discuss PMs as they relate to social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Even the history section doesn't actually talk about the evolution and development of PMs. Instead, it talks about the development of e-mail and instant messengers (which are individual in their communication by nature). It is almost as if the person who wrote that section wasn't particularly well aware of the history of the Internet pre-social-media.  Tharthan (talk) 14:01, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
