Little tips to make discussions easier to read and understand
Hi Sue Stephan, I wanted to share some tips with you on how to edit talkpages. Before we go any further, as a precautionary step, I'd like to humbly remind you that there are some things which Wikipedia is not, e.g. a forum or a soapbox or a blog. So let's come to the point. It's important that you properly indent your comments while responding to others' comments on talk pages. Good indentation makes prolonged discussions easier to read and understand. It might be helpful to think of discussions as reports with numbered/bulleted sections and subsections where material is not necessarily written in chronological order. See also:
 * WP:CUSTOMSIG
 * Signatures must include at least one internal link to your user page, user talk page, or contributions page; this allows other editors easy access to your talk page and contributions log. The lack of such a link is widely viewed as obstructive. If, while making modifications, you accidentally disable this link, click here. When you insert your signature on your talk page or user page, a link to that page will appear black, bold and inactive, so test your signature elsewhere, such as the Sandbox.

 * WP:INDENT Indentation_highlight.jpg
 * A reply should be placed beneath the original comment. The reply should be indented. To indent check your edit tool bar for a button like this → [[Image:Vector_toolbar_indentation_button.png|20px]].
 * If two replies are made to one specific comment, they should be at the same level of indentation with the later reply at the bottom.
 * A response to a reply should be placed below that reply, but above all later replies. The response should be indented relative to the adjacent replies.
 * A new comment or sub-thread that is being added after a number of replies should go at the bottom. Do not add a new comment or sub-thread where it will separate an earlier comment from its replies.

I hope this helps. If you still need something else, don't worry and visit the Help-page. Brendon is here  11:07, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
