Everyone contributing to Wikipedia has their own user talk page. On this page, anyone can leave a message for you. People can ask you questions or give you advice. There are some automated 'bots' that may also add helpful messages.


When a registered user receives a message, they get a notification in the top right of their screen:

Unregistered users on a shared internet connection, like school or home networks, get a shared talk page. If someone leaves an unregistered user a message, the user will see a notification at the top of whichever page they are looking at:


To reply, you can comment below the message on your own user talk page (start with {{ping|theirusername}} to notify them), or you can write on the user talk page of the person you are replying to.


Generally, you can find an editor's user talk page by following the link labelled "talk" in their signature, located at the end of their messages. You can always reach their user talk page by clicking on their name in the signature, and then clicking on the "Talk" tab, as you would with an article.
