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.
There are many obscure pages that no-one ever visits, not even those who
take pride in finding new proofs for their ignorance.
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.
Definitely the best solution.
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.
Also to a topic where you are mare likely to have reference material at
your fingertips.
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.
Wasn't the Village Pump intended to do this?
