On wiki pages near the top there are a series of tabs.
"article, Discussion, edit this page, history"
I think you know where to click.

nietzsche just to add what conky was saying, when you click on history, you'll see all of the contributors and their past entries. Beside their names in parenthesis is the word 'Talk'. Click on that and you can discuss personally with that contributor or see past discussions of his.

Drew, I was recently involved in an 'edit war' with a rectum on Wikipedia. Here are a couple of links to articles, 'ironically' from Wikipedia itself, which support why it will never be a dependable source of info. You may or may not have read these but enjoy with a laugh as I did:

wiki 2

The saddest thing, in the final analysis, is that Wikipedia available for "free" online, will so compromise the economic viability of serious encyclopedias that incur real costs to produce real scholarship, that many will simply fail.
The Internet is turning the economics of society on its head. And, so quickly that no one is able to control the damage.
