How to edit notes?

When you add or change something in a text, please put your contribution in the appropriate place in that text (not as a separate comment or intention at the bottom). Make sure that the text continues to flow; the text must remain a whole. The Bestor notes should not become a colourful collection of separate comments, but should form a seamless whole that can be expanded at any time.
Each User has the right to make edits and changes. So feel free to improve notes or comment on the discussion page.
Feel free to improve anything on a note, but provide arguments on the talk page as soon as you notice that someone disagrees with it (even if that person is wrong). Never be offensive or hurtful.
If you don't want your texts to be rigorously edited by others, don't post them on Bestor.
Do not start an edit war, where texts are changed over and over again. This is very unpleasant for the reader.
Making edits to another user's Userpage is considered rude. (What is a Userpage?)

Click on the discussion tab at the top of the note. This takes you to the discussion page. Here you can write just like on a normal page. Finally sign your note with your User-signature. (What is your user signature?)

Comments are made at the bottom of discussion pages - at least under the comment to which you are responding.
Changing other people's comments - even if it's only a comma - causes irritation for many. So don't do that.
Do not leave your comments anonymous.
