Wikipedia community

• Talk pages

• When leaving a message on a talk page: if you are responding on an existing thread, be sure to indent your comment (this is how conversations are organized on these pages) by starting your comment with a ":" for each indentation. If you are starting a new thread, indicate this with a new heading. Remember a level 2 heading is made with two equal signs (e.g. "==Talk page heading=="). Also, be sure to sign your name, be logged in and see below.

• Sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date.
