  • Limit your comments to a few words only; verbose comments will be edited for brevity!
  • New entries go at top.
  • Begin your comment with a "-" to separate it from the previous comment, but:
    • If you have made a change to the page in question or are reporting a change made to the page, Use a "+" instead to indicate a change (e.g. "+ fixed the first paragraph", "+ deleted" or "+ stubbified")
  • The comment "delete" or "VFD" is a vote to move this page to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, not to delete it immediately. It would be helpful to list such entries in bold (''' ''').
