Questions on etiquette regarding editing articles (repost of unanswered question)

If another editor creates an article, and has been the only contributor to the article, and I would like to make some changes, or point out what appear to me to be errors in the article:

  • would it be better for me to first make comments on the "Talk" page of the article? (This is Wikipedia's [unofficial] policy.)
  • would doing so be more respectful to the creator/maintainer of the article?
  • and would doing so minimize the possibility of creating problems with other editors?

We're not Wikipedia--we're just a tiny wiki, with only a handful of editors.

It might even be a good idea if all BoyWiki editors followed guidelines similar to those mentioned above, and it could become official BoyWiki policy, couldn't it? What do you think, Etenne?

What do I think? To be frank and right at this very moment, I am too tired to think. It has been a very long day for me. I know that is not your problem :) I will consider it. However, it seems to me that for the most part, people seem to work together pretty well and there are few major disputes where I have felt the need to intervene. However, now with Dragonlover who has recently come on board and soon Buster who will be for the most part responsible for/in charge of Category:Encyclopedia, I think I prefer to wait and have their input before making a decision. --Etenne 23:03, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
OK. Thanks for your consideration of my suggestion. (As for me, I am no longer in the hospital, and the massive bleeding has stopped, but the doctor wants to do some more tests next week to determine the cause of the internal hemorrhage.) User4 (talk) 23:09, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
I do wish you a speedy recovery. Try to take care of yourself.--Etenne 23:28, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

High Priest of BoyLovers by Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas (the former webmaster of BoyChat) made a number of posts on this topic, and I would like to refer to them. Unfortunately, the administrators of BoyChat have (inexplicably) made these post inaccessible to the public. Does someone happen to have copies of them which they could share with me? Thanks.
