Comments about specific articles

• Each article has its own talk page to ask questions or make constructive comments regarding its content, when you're viewing the article, just click on the Talk tab 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 have already been answered in the frequently asked questions. Otherwise:

• The Teahouse is a friendly space for new editors to ask questions with answers from experienced editors.
• The help desk is the main place for asking questions and also where to turn when all else fails.
• The village pump is the forum for discussion of Wikipedia's more complex project-wide technical issues, policies, proposals, and operations.
• Media copyright questions covers the use of images and other media on Wikipedia.

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

• Click here to ask for help on your talk page; a volunteer will visit you there. Otherwise, write {{ Help me}} and your question on a talk page ( preferably your own talk page) and a volunteer will assist you there.
• If your request specifically requires administrator assistance, place {{ Admin help}} on your talk page.

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're unsure of the exact area, use Miscellaneous.
