Honestly
Okay, this is a test....
1... 2.... 3... 4....
Okay, so is this where I talk to people who want to talk to me or what?
This software sucks.
How do I talk about an article that is posted on this site that I want to edit?
Welcome!

Hello
editHello, Honestly! Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you had some questions, so here goes:
- Okay, this is a test....
- 1... 2.... 3... 4....
- Yep, Wikipedia really works. You can edit any page (besides the very few protected pages. In addition, you can test edit at the sandbox.
- Okay, so is this where I talk to people who want to talk to me or what?
- User talk pages are where others can leave you messages. If someone edits your user talk page, you will receive an orange bar, saying "You have new messages." To "talk" to someone else, simply edit his/her talk page.
- This software sucks.
- Why do you say that? I agree, however, that it could be better.
- How do I talk about an article that is posted on this site that I want to edit?
- See the tabs at the top of your screen? Go to the article and click on the "discussion" tab. This brings you to the article talk page, where you can discuss the article with other editors.
I hope this clears up some issues for you. If you have any further questions, do not hesistate to ask me (click the "A note?" link in my signature and edit that page), or ask the help desk. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:04, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
