To begin a new subject, use the + tab. That provides you a form in which to first enter a Subject and then enter the new comment. When you then click "Save page", it automatically posts new comments below any previous comments (which is where they belong). The next person to comment about that subject should enter their response just beneath the first comment using a colon : to create an indent. The third comment is then indented twice by using two colons like this :: and the fourth with three colons like this ::: and so forth.
Please sign the comment with four tildes like this ~~~~. That automatically signs it with your user name, the date and the time.
Comments should be professional. The Constabulary may delete complaints about others, incivility, and open partisanship. Reach a constable at constables@citizendium.org.
Please place the {{subpages}} template at the top of the page. See Subpage help for guidance.
