Communication edit
Hello, TeaDrinker! And thank you so much for the kind welcome-to-Wikipedia, after you (apparently) noticed my so very few edits so far. I think this will be a great experience, however, and I hope to help out a great deal more in future. By the way, is this the correct way to communicate with you -- via an "edit" to your talk-page? carminasteve 11/1/2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carminasteve (talk • contribs) 20:05, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Howdy again and of course welcome! A message on the bottom of someone's talk page is indeed the standard way to get a hold of them. Where the reply goes is not standard; some people will reply on their own page, others on the talk page of the sender. Myself I try to reply on my own page, but if it is likely that the other person won't see it (either because they don't usually watch pages, or if it has been more than a day or two), I will copy both messages onto their page. It is a somewhat confusing system. You can also sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~) which automatically creates a link to your userpage along with the date and time. In any event, it is always great to see new users on the project. Thanks for the note, and let me know if you have any other questions! --TeaDrinker 02:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
