Edit Article

Every wikiHow article has its own Discussion page, where you can leave a comment. The Discussion page provides a forum to discuss improvements and other aspects. Using the discussion page in a constructive manner can help significantly improve articles by raising points that the author may not have thought of.

Tips

  • Ignore insulting or offensive comments.
  • Use IRC or the Forums for other interactive discussions.
  • For your own safety, do not reveal personal information, such as your real name, age, birthday, home address, Email address, city of residence, phone number, social security number, credit card information, etc.
  • If you have a question regarding the following of the article's steps (for example, a question about where to acquire a certain part needed or a question regarding a variation of the steps) it may be better to post on the author's wikiHow talk page, as this will likely ensure a quicker response to your query. wikiHow users are automatically notified on-site (and, if they choose, emailed) when they receive a talk page message.
