Write headers whose titles in a few words describe the issue or problem you have with the article in the form of a question, through a broader issue, or as a positive assertion. For example: If your issue with the article "Dinosaur" is that it states that "All dinosaurs walked on two legs." Do not write a heading on the talk page: "This article is completely wrong and stupid," or, "Morons think all dinosaurs walk on two legs," or even "All dinosaurs did not walk on two legs." Rather, attempt to make your headings welcoming to those you disagree with. Try, "Did all dinosaurs walk on two legs?", "Dinosaur locomotion", or, "Brontosauri walked on four legs". This will make it easy for people to address that issue, work towards consensus, and eventually resolve the issue or dispute and improve the article. Thanks. | Write headers whose titles in a few words describe the issue or problem you have with the article in the form of a question, through a broader issue, or as a positive assertion.
