Wikipedia has many places to ask questions, such as the:

• Help desk
• Teahouse, a friendly place which aims to assist new editors
• Reference desks
• Village Pump (technical) forum
• The talk page for each and every article in Wikipedia
• Putting the {{help me}} template in a message on your Talk page (including the 4 curly braces)

Sometimes, a user will post a question and forget all about it. It is easy to forget about these unless you keep a record of the questions you posted to refer back to later. One useful method for doing this is to set aside a section of your User page or Talk page, to keep a list of links to your queries. In this list, you can place section links which lead directly to the subheadings (AKA sections) under which you posted your queries.
