Your question.

Well, what is your question? JohnCD (talk) 20:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "helpme" puts you in a list that people have to check. If you were just trying it out, that's fine, but I've amended it to take you off the list. If you actually have a question, the WP:Welcome page or the WP:Introduction might answer it; if not, post another {{helpme}} and write the question out below it.

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
