Talk pages are not forums
Article talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article.


 * Different pages are like different rooms. Articles are like displays in a museum, article talk pages are like the backstage areas where the displays are worked on.  Your user page is like the front door to your office.  You can decorate it up to a point, just make sure that the material there has something to do with the site.  Your user talk page is like your office (so posting there is like talking to yourself).
 * The Teahouse is like a reception area. The Help Desk is like, well, a help desk.  The Reference Desks are supposed to be a place to find sources for articles.
 * Administrator intervention against vandalism is where you report vandals. Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring is where you report someone who has made more than 3 reverts in under 24 hours.  Requests for Page Protection is where you request that a page be locked (make sure there's a good reason for it).  They all have templates for reports, use them.
 * Administrators Noticeboard/Incidents is where like the front room for the security office where incidents can be brought to administrator attention, while Administrators Noticeboard is like the back office where the admins sort out admin matters. Make sure you don't need to go to one of the above areas first.

Your message at Talk:Anonymous is not going to get to Anonymous. As for being a member of Wikipedia, congrats, you already are. We have a tutorial to help you get started, and I've written a guide covering a variety of issues new users face. Ian.thomson (talk) 09:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
