{{helpme}} Am I supposed to edit my talk page to add info? I was looking for some sort of button to add comment or somesuch. Wikineer (talk) 21:34, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Wikineer. Your talk page is generally for other to leave comments for you. Your user page, which you have not yet created, is at User:Wikineer. You can see that it has not yet been created because that link I just posted is red. Every user has a talk page, always titled in the format
User talk:NAME, and every user has a user page in the formatUser:NAME. Many people use their user pages for telling the community a little about themselves, and keeping list of things, such as articles they've worked on, to do lists, userboxes, links to useful policy pages and all manner of other stuff. You don't normally keep such material on your talk page. You don't need to nor are you supposed to do anything but act in the best interests of the encyclopedia.
