asking users to contact you privately dear editor at you are currently as you have done in the past contacting users in particular administrators asking them to e mail you privately about something i do not know what you wish to talk about but i can assure you that there is probably a better way to accomplish whatever it is that you wish to accomplish in particular if you have a legal concern about your personal information on any wikipedia article please contact the otrs team as per wikipedia blpedit legal issues if you are being harassed in some manner please see wikipedia harassment for advice if it's a research project read wikipedia research recruitment if it's a copyright problem please follow the directions at wikipedia copyright violations information for copyright owners i can't really think of too many other problems that are better handled off wiki and privately please be aware of our guidelines against canvassing which is wiki slang for trying to gather support for some particular topic if people do contact you please read wp emailpost to know our stance about the privacy of their emails be aware that by posting your e mail address you are giving away your private information deleting it from user's talk pages as you keep asking of editors does not not remove that information from public view lastly if it's something entirely different than i've anticipated there's still almost surely a better way to handle it search wikipedia with wisely chosen keywords to find it
