If you have a question, concern, or comment related to improving a Wikipedia article, you can put a note on that article's talk page.
You get to the talk page by clicking the "{{int:Talk}}" tab at the top of the article. If the tab shows up in red, it just means no one has commented yet; feel free to start a discussion.
When you start a new discussion topic, put it at the bottom of the talk page. The best way to do this is by clicking the "{{int:Skin-action-addsection}}" tab at the top of the page. This allows you to enter a new section heading and your comments.
If you are responding to someone else's remarks, put your comment below theirs. You can do this by clicking on the {{fake link|Reply|This is a sample link and cannot be clicked.}} link after their comment. Link to pages you mention with the File:OOjs UI icon link-ltr.svg icon and mention other editors with the File:OOUI icon userAdd-ltr.svg icon.
Your comments will be signed with your {{If IP|IP address (a number representing your internet connection)|username}} and a link to your personal talk page, along with the time you saved the page. {{If IP|If you create an account, your username will become your signature and you will be able to customize its appearance|If you want, you can customize the appearance of your signature}}.
