Help:Talk pages

From TruthAboutIraq

Talk pages are used to catalog discussion about the content of a page without letting that conversation spill out into the content itself. Since these conversations can become heated and confused, please try to remember the following basic formatting tips:

• SIGN YOUR COMMENTS - The most important thing is use four tilde (~~~~) at the end of your comment to place your name and a time/date stamp. This aids the other users in understanding who is writing and when in the course of the conversation the comment was made. The time/date is especially useful if several conversations are being held at various places on the page over an extended period of time.

• Use indents - It is also helpful to use one or more colons (:) to indent a comment. By indenting, the flow of comments and subsequent replies can more easily be understood.
