→Editing article and talk pages
Article talk pages, also known as Discussion pages, are an opportunity to build a cooperative and collaborative community of editors with common interests and values. They are designed to improve articles. When discussing changes to an article, have the discussion on the article's talk page where other editors can see, and not on a user talk page where it is unlikely to be seen by others.

Discussions will also be useful for ''later'' editors looking to see why something is in the article the way it is. Be polite, courteous, and stick to the main points of the discussion. Interact with other users civilly. Do not [[spam]] pages with reams and reams of copy paste material. Answer question or inquiries succinctly, to the point. If you don't know the answer off hand, tell them you will have to research the matter and get back in a timely fashion. If you feel the answer is too large for simple question, don't try to overwhelm the questioner with lengthy response. be civil, and not disrespectful at all times.

Sometimes discussions lead off to other matters. You can create new subheadings. If the discussion is no longer about the article, move the discussion elsewhere. In discussion remember to [[Conservapedia:Editing etiquette|always be civil]]. Do not put User names in subheadings to invite other editors to gang up on an editor or hold up to ridicule. Personal attacks should be replaced with the {{[[Template:personal remark removed|personal remark removed]]}} template.
