A note on the talk page will, in almost all cases, get the attention 
needed. The exception is articles with highly active and flame-
infested talk pages - in these cases use HTML comments instead. 
It might take a little longer for a note on the talk page to get the 
attention needed, in some cases. Patience is a virtue.

If you lack the patience of virtue, be advised that naming 
convention/disambiguation discussion may take place at [[wikipedia 
talk:naming conventions]]. More usefully, you can rectify most 
conflicts of fact and ambiguous sentences by engaging in some 
research on the topic at hand. This may require a little effort.

If you are impatient and also lazy, move on to the next page and fix 
that one instead, and try to pick one slightly further within your area 
of expertise.

Pages such as your proposed [[Wikipedia:Editor's forum]] have, I 
am sad to say, a long and distinguished career of failure, as 
experience teaches us that the number of people who want to tell 
people what to do outweighs the number of people who want 
someone else to tell them what to do.
