So if you have a comment, question, or difference of opinion it's best to raise it on the Talk page rather than the main article.

Posting on main (non-Talk) pages
Hi Jason
Glad to have you back with us and making lots of contributions. You have a lot of game experience to share so that is very good. Some more points on the protocol for posting though:
The main pages are meant to be articles, not discussions. So on the main pages we don't add a signature. I made this mistake myself when I was first posting. So: Talk pages, add your signature; Non-Talk pages, don't add a signature.
Also, as the main pages are meant to read as articles, they shouldn't have comments or discussion really. They should present a single view. So if you have a comment, question, or difference of opinion it's best to raise it on the Talk page rather than the main article. Then we can have a bit of a discussion about it, come to agreement, and change the main page in a way that reflects some kind of consensus.
Cheers, Spike
