[edit]
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, List of messiah claimants. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Also, the article states that the list includes people who did not claim to be the Messiah, but who were or are claimed to be by some of their followers. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:54, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Ian. Sorry to have inadvertently misused the system. This was my first edit attempt. Is this the proper place to 'air it out'? Bzmeltzer (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
- Here could work, but Talk:List of messiah claimants would be more appropriate, and I've moved your comments there. Whenever you have an issue with an article, look for the "Talk" button at the top left-hand side of the page, and leave a note at the bottom of the page. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:33, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
