Re: question on your userpage
Regarding how to communicate with other users, you edit talk pages the same way you would any other page. If you are starting a new discussion you can use the "new section" tab at the top of the page, if you are replying tosomeone else you simply click the "edit" button a the top of the section. As far emailing within Wikipedia, you do that by going to the user in questions user or talk page and use the "email this user" function in the sidebar on the left hand side of the page.

Links to further information:
 * basic information on how to use talk pages
 * talk page guidelines
 * about Wikipedia email

Hope that helps, the teahouse is also a good place to go with any questions you may have, there are lots of very friendly, knowledgeable people who handle questions there. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:56, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Re: your concise reply
One of the main reasons I haven't read through the entire "user guide" articles (the How-to-use-wikipedia articles) is because they are far from concise, and every article betrays a need to delve into every intricacy (most of which is common sense). Your reply on how to use the talk page and email was fantastic. Thank you! Tmbirkhead (talk) 21:15, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Glad I could help. By the way, indenting by using spaces or tabs produces the effect you see in your last comment. Wikipedia uses colons to indent, with the number of colons increasing the size of the indent like so:
 * One colon
 * two
 * three

You get the idea. sometimes a conversation goes on for a while and ends up
 * Way over here from all the indenting

and you can use the outdent template to bring it back over here. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:53, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks
The episode on glycerol was an opportunity for you to blow your stack. Thanks for keeping it civil. Tough to do that. Looking forward to respectfully arguing with you again. --Smokefoot (talk) 03:06, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Video
With respect to videos we tend to add them to Wikimedia Commons. If you are involved with creating the video discussion should occur before it is added. Best Doc James  (talk · contribs · email) 19:30, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
