I've found this image. Web site claims that I'm the creator of the image. I'm not. As a matter of fact I've never posted any single image at this web site and I found the image, when I Google for my name. The image provides the link to Wikipedia to my image, but once again the image from yhis web site was not taken by me. This error should be corrected, but I could not find whom to contact about this. What should I do? Thanks.-- Mbz1 ( talk) 18:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brights_movement
Subject: The addition to the long-standing description of the Brights' Net. A party has added a template at the bottom of the page which is erroneous.
The title of the Template is "irreligion". This title is totally counter to one of the main purposes of The Brights' Net. A Bright is an individual with a naturalistic worldview. Brights do not (should not) refer to themselves or the organization using religious terminology. Thus words like irreligious, non-religious, etc. are totally inappropriate.
The left-hand column of the template is also inappropriate for use on The Brights' page. Again, all groups are referred to in terms of a negative: A - theism (without gods), A - gnosticism (without knowledge), and Non-theism (without religion).
I strongly suggest the template be removed since it has no direct connection to the Brights' movement and has direct connection to terms which are eschewed by the Brights' movement.
Note: (I did not delete it myself since I have limited abilities in using Wikipedia and did not wish to change something in an erroneous manner.)
Contact: Please contact me directly and let me know how the situation stands. Email: Paul @ the-brights@the-brights.net
Thanks much for Wikipedia -- it is my first stop whenever I have a question that needs a quick and accurate (in general) answer.
You show the word search in many different languages. search... ...haku, suk. What language is "suk"?
I looked at the Volapuek dictionary. Search was not tranlated like that. So where is this coming from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.56.129.195 ( talk) 22:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
