Wikipedia:Questions

Factual questions

• The Reference Desk is like a library reference desk. They will try to help you find the information you need.

e.g. "What country has the world's largest fishing fleet?"

It is divided into several departments to answer questions on the following topics:

Computing - Entertainment - Language - Humanities - Mathematics - Science - Miscellaneous

• Additionally, each article has its own Talk page to ask questions or make constructive comments regarding its content, just click on the article's discussion link at the top of the page. Bear in mind, however, that Wikipedia is not a discussion forum.
