Wikipedia:Help desk/Are you in the right place

[edit] Are you in the right place?

You are about to add a new section to the Wikipedia Help Desk, a page which is run by volunteer editors to help new and experienced users use the English Wikipedia. First and foremost, if your question is a general knowledge query not specifically related to Wikipedia, you probably want to visit the Wikipedia Reference Desk, where asking knowledge questions is welcome.

[edit] Where you might want to be

...for help with a product you own	Please contact the customer service department of the company that makes the product you are having trouble with. While we may have an article on the product or company, we are not affiliated with them in any way.
