Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

[edit] Appropriate technology

Hi Jeff,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you stay around and keep contributing.

Are you still planning on adding references to your work on Appropriate_technology#Water_treatment? Good to see you working on this, by the way. (The wiki linking. i.e. double square brackets, was lost in your edits, which I'll fix up a little - ). I'm unsure of some of the details of what you've written, so I'd prefer to let you go first. Also I'm mainly busy with Appropedia at the moment. Cheers --Chriswaterguy talk 09:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jeff - thanks for your note. I look forward to seeing your further contributions.

One tip for contributing to a wiki though: please if you delete content, as you did in Appropriate technology #Water treatment, be sure and put your reason in the edit summary. I've just re-added that content for the second time - but I will emphasize that I'm happy to see it rewritten or replaced with something suitable.
