In general, the best place to discuss specific things related to articles, files or other Wikipedia pages is on the their
corresponding talk page
. This makes it easier for others to participate in the discussion and also helps keep everything in one place for archiving purposes, etc. For similar reasons, it's generally better to respond to a post I made on the same page I made it. If I feel it is best to continue a discussion started here on some other page, I may suggest moving the discussion to this other page or or simply just move it myself.
Please try to format your post properly, using
colon trick
; there's no need to display the file on my user talk page.
Please do not forget to sign the end of your message using four
tildes
(~~~~). I like to know who's trying to contact me and signing your posts will make it easier for me to reply.
Please don't copy-and-paste entire articles or drafts (or any content contained therein) onto my user talk page; simply provide a reference link to the relevant page instead. Copying-and-pasting such content will not only mess up the formatting of my user talk page, but it might also be considered a

I try to respond to all replies asap, but sometimes it takes a bit of time to figure out how; so, please be patient and give me the chance to do so before peppering my talk page for "demands" for a response. Please also understand that there might some editors
