Editing Incubator escapee wiki:Help desk/Archive 2 (section)

==Talk pages==

H e l p!  As a newcomer to Wikipedia, I am having some trouble. Another reader has asked me to state reasons for any changes I make. My questions are: (1) I have briefly made comments in the edit summary spot - is there some other place where I can or should be stating reasons for changes? (2)Wikipedia says to look in the "sidebar" at the side or bottom of a page for "discussion"; I cannot find this option...; (3) I have gone to the "talk page" of the reader who asked a question of me...but I cannot determine how to leave him a message on his page...
Thnak you.

:Ah.  Part of the problem is that Wikipeda has recently changed its default appearance.  The link to the "discussion" is now displayed on the upper left, on a tab, but a lot of the help pages don't reflect this yet.  In order to add a comment to the talk page of an article or to a user's talk page, click the "edit this page" button and add your comments at the bottom.

:: Except that the "Edit this page" link now simply says "edit", and it's on a tab at the top, too.  [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine]] | [[User_talk:CatherineMunro|talk]] 15:44, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)
