Discussion pages

I noticed that you added a message at User talk:Witty lama. It's a bit confusing, but the "discussion" page is also known as the "talk" page. When you add a new topic on a discussion page, you should click "new section" at the top. You then enter a heading (without any equal signs) and the message followed by your signature (a space then four tildes added to the last line). Using "new section" means the message will be added to the bottom of the page. I have moved your message to the bottom so Witty notices it. When you reply to a message on a talk page, you click "edit" on the right of the heading of the section. Start your reply with one indent (a colon :) for the first reply, or two colons (::) if replying to a first reply, etc. Do not worry about any of this stuff – you get used to it.
