| Wikipedia is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly hugely mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to Wikipedia...

You have come here because you need help, probably because I left you a comment that you find puzzling. Please note that this is not the place for messages to me, for that you need my talk page.
First: Don't panic! Wikipedia is not on a deadline. There are few things that can't be fixed by a dose of calmness and reasoned debate. If something looks wrong to you, instead of demanding it be fixed, try asking nicely why it was done. You'd be amazed how much more effective that is.
Here are some useful places to go:
- I'm confused! → Wikipedia:Help, the ever helpful help page.
- I'm being attacked! → Drop me a note and I'll see if I can help, but bear in mind that if I find a school-yard fight I will drag the warring parties apart and actively not care who started it.
- My article got deleted! → Wikipedia:Why was my article deleted?; consider deletion review (please ensure that you bring credible arguments for restoration and resist the temptation to overdramatise the importance of the issue)
- I've been blocked! → edit your user talk page and add {{unblock|reason}} (that's a double curly-brace, the template name unblock, in lowercase, then a pipe character and the text of your request)
- My article is being vandalised! → you can request page protection, but remember that it's not actually your article.
- No, it's the article about me! → That's a big, serious problem. Go to Wikipedia:Contact us/Article problem/Factual error (from subject) and send email.
- ZOMG! Rouge admin abuse! → If you genuinely think an administrator has abused their powers, you need dispute resolution.
- I need an admin! → There's not much an admin can do that a regular user can't. We can delete articles (but only under limited circumstances), we can delete edits from history (but for permanent deletion of personal info or libel you need oversight, not a regular admin), we can protect and unprotect articles and we can block users. We block for:
