 | Your question is not about using Wikipedia. The {{Help me}} template is only for questions that are Wikipedia-specific – editing, navigating, etc. Your question seems to be better suited for the reference desk, a place where you can ask general knowledge questions about matters unrelated to Wikipedia use. If you would like to ask a question about using Wikipedia, please replace the code {{Help me-rdq}} on this page with {{Help me}}, or connect to wikipedia-en-help for live chat assistance. |
Usage
