Help:User Talk

From Wikicpa

Jump to: navigation, search

For a variety of reasons, you may wish to contact another user on Wiki CPA. Doing so is simple.

First, go to their user page. It is located at User:<Their Username>. You'll see a link on the left menu bar saying "E-mail this user." If the user has permitted you to email him or her, you can do so that way.

However, not all users have this enabled, and in any event, you may not want to be that intrusive. Thankfully, there is another, better way to contact a user -- their talk page.

While at their user page, you'll see a link saying "Discuss this page" both on the left and at the bottom of the page. Click that link. That will put you on the user's talk page. You should then edit the talk page and leave your note. But:

  1. Be sure you are on the talk page and not the user's page itself. You can identify the talk page by the fact that it says "User talk" and not just "User" at the top.
  2. Sign your notes by putting --~~~~ at the end of them. This will automatically put your username and the time/date of your note into the page.
  3. Keep it civil. There are plenty of places on the Internet to speak with a forked tongue about another person. Do not do that here.
