I saw your message on Neighbor's user page, and moved it to the talk page for his user page. You can use a user's talk page for discussions with that user; the user page itself is used to describe the user ("Hi, I'm Jon, I'm a wiki administrator..."). I know this is confusing; the advantage is that, when a user's talk page is altered, that user will get a prominent notification at the top of the screen (and also possibly an email notification). This way, you can use a user's talk page as a messaging system. This is the equivalent of the PM system in a forum, but, since it's public, it's more of a Public Message than a Private Message.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 16:40, 12 February 2012 (MST) | I saw your message on Neighbor's user page, and moved it to the talk page for his user page.
