Ask for help at Wikipedia's Help Desk

Do you need help with the editing process and understanding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines? If so, ask a question at Wikipedia's Help Desk. While doing so...


 * Please be patient. Help desk members are all volunteers, so sometimes replies can take some time. Check back to see if your question is answered.
 * Please stay on topic. The Help desk is available only for questions about how to use or edit Wikipedia.
 * If your question is a general knowledge query not specifically related to Wikipedia, please visit the Wikipedia Reference Desk instead, where asking knowledge questions is welcome.

If you are a new user...
 * You may prefer to ask for help at the Teahouse, an area specifically for new users to get help with editing, article creation, and general Wikipedia use, in a friendly environment (while sipping your tea).
 * Consider taking The Wikipedia Adventure, an online interactive and fun tutorial to get your feet wet in about an hour.
