Where to ask questions or make comments Please choose the most appropriate place to ask your question, as misplaced questions may get overlooked! A helpful volunteer will answer it shortly ... Factual questions The Reference Desk is like a library reference desk where you can ask questions about any topic except Wikipedia itself. The editors there will try to answer your questions, or point you in the direction of the information you need. e.g. "What country has the world's largest fishing fleet?" The reference desk is divided into several subject areas: Computing – Entertainment – Language – Humanities – Mathematics – Science If you are unsure of the exact area use Miscellaneous. Comments about specific articles Each article has its own talk page to ask questions or make constructive comments regarding its content, when you are viewing the article, just click on the discussion link at the top of the page. Bear in mind, however, that Wikipedia is not a forum for discussion about the topics of articles – comments should be limited to the article's content. Questions about using and contributing to Wikipedia Your question might already be answered in the Frequently Asked Questions, otherwise: Help Desk is the main place to ask a question and also where to turn when all else fails. New users' help page is a centralized help directory for new users. Editor assistance/Requests is a place to ask for help regarding content issues and disputes. Highly Active Users is a page where you can request assistance and advice directly from active Wikipedia editors in your own timezone. The Village Pump is the forum for discussion of more complex project-wide technical issues, policies, proposals, and operations of Wikipedia. Media copyright questions covers the use of images and other media on Wikipedia. Requests lists further request departments. Live chat help For assistance with Wikipedia-related queries (not general factual questions), you can join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC chat room for live assistance.

Personal help on your talk page If you place {{helpme}} on your talk page, an editor will visit you there! If your request specifically requires administrator assistance, place {{adminhelp}} on your talk page.
