How to contact a Wikipedia user...

Wikipedia users are just random folks with an Internet access. Almost none of them have any kind of formal relationship with the Wikimedia Foundation. We cannot help you contact them any more than through the information already on the site.

Post a public message

To send a message that can be read by anyone:

1. In the search box, type User talk:<username>. So, to contact "Example" type User talk:Example. Then click Go.
2. Click the new section button beside "edit this page" at the top.
3. Type a message, finish it with "~~~~", and click preview. If you are happy with the message, click save.

Send a private e-mail

You must be logged in and have provided a valid email address to send emails.

1. In the search box, type User:<username>. So, to contact "Example" type User:Example.
2. Click "e-mail this user" in the toolbox on the bottom-left.
   Not all users have "e-mail this user" enabled.
