 * As a further reply;
 * Yes, it is quite confusing at first. We all try to make it easy, but it's just so damn big :-)
 * But remember it's a wiki - and therefore, if you have any ideas about how it can improve, you can improve it. Unfortunately, the Contact us page is currently one of the very few protected pages, so you cannot directly edit that one - but you could comment on Wikipedia Talk:Contact us - suggesting how it could be made clearer. Or, ideas are very welcome over at the village pump.


 * But in general, asking on the help desk should at least point you in the right direction! Best,  Chzz  ► 21:10, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Mmmm. yeah. it's gonna take me a while to get around to learning all of the interactive stuff...which started w that need to place a suggestion. typically, i just read the pages. i feel that there are many random/needless comments by trolls that just waste people's time, so i tend to avoid that kind of thing. thank u for pointing me in the right direction :D


 * It's true that a lot of talk pages attract inappropriate comments - it really depends on the article, and how "well maintained" it is. For example, on featured content, the talk page system works extremely well - e.g. today's featured article is Harry Cobby, and a query on the talk got a response within hours.


 * But for less popular pages, the talk page can unfortunately stagnate. There's a couple of things you can do about that though; if you post a query on a talk page, you can also put a short comment somewhere else to attract attention. For example: if I was querying the source of something on an article talk page, I might also put a brief note on Reliable sources/Noticeboard saying "Please see my question on Talk:Whatever". If it was a question about an article about e.g. music, I could post on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music.


 * The various noticeboards and project pages; the problem is often not knowing where to ask. But if you ask on the helpdesk or use here, then people will try to point you to the right place. Or, you can always ask me :-)

 * Hey, Hestiazfire! Thanks for taking the time to comment on the AFT page :). I've responded to your comment, which is, I think, a good direction to go in - making the question as specific as possible. Keep up the good work :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
