If you have a question, concern, or comment related to improving a Wikipedia article, you can put a note on that article's '''[[WP:talk page|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:Vector-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 {{#tag:span|[|class="mw-editsection-bracket"}}{{fake link|reply|This is a sample link and cannot be clicked.}}{{#tag:span|]|class="mw-editsection-bracket"}} link after their comment. Link to pages you mention with the [[File:OOjs UI icon link-ltr.svg|20px|link=|alt=Chain icon]] icon and mention other editors with the [[File:OOUI icon userAdd-ltr.svg|20px|link=|alt=Add user icon]] 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 [[Special:Userlogin|create an account]], your username will become your signature and you will be able to [[Wikipedia:Signature tutorial|customize its appearance]]|If you want, you can [[Wikipedia:Signature tutorial|customize the appearance of your signature]]}}.
