	::That covers everything I would have said. It's not that it's inappropriate to the wiki, per se, but rather it's not really the best way to go about getting an answer since the talk pages are not used very much here. Most people who do, use them to just leave notes about a page's contents that they think is wrong but can't actually confirm yet so a later editor can see the note, or start an information gathering project for more information before adding it to the page. Most of the time, because of the lack of use of the talk pages that is where it ends since either the edit gets buried under the rest of the days edits and no one ever sees it, or the people who do see it either don't know as well, or aren't interested in the project. I've been there done that, trust me. ;) Several times I've also seen answers to a question given on a talk page... that occur months or even years after the question was asked. The forums, or even social media sometimes, really are a much better place to reliably get an answer in a reasonable time frame if a simple question is the goal.--[[User:ABSOLON\|ABSOLON]] ([[User talk:ABSOLON\|talk]]) 00:56, 2 August 2016 (CDT)		::That covers everything I would have said.
