Revision as of 08:38, 5 May 2020

Contact Users on their User pages

As in Wikipedia, all registered user have their own user pages connected to their personal talk pages. If you leave someone a message on their talk page, they will receive a note the next time their screen is refreshed (or even an e-mail if they have asked for this service in their preferences).

That is the fast way to make sure a person gets your message.

Address all on the FactGrid Project chat

Use the FactGrid:Project chat to speak to the entire community.

Sign your posts

If you have written something on another User's page or in the FactGrid:Project chat sign your post with

--~~~~

When saving, this sequence will be converted into a signature with links to your user and your talk page and a date that matches the date of the version history as in --Olaf Simons (talk) 23:57, 3 April 2020 (CEST)

Design

If you get involved in a debate use colons at the beginning of each new paragraph to indent one step further and end your contributions with your signature.

This will make it easier to read the entire exchange.
