How do I find out where another user lives
If it has its definite location in your profile, just click the name of the country which is shown in "Location" (if any). You will be taken to the exact location marked by the user. Otherwise, you need to ask directly to the user, but be ready for a disappointment, since many users prefer to keep your privacy.
How can I contact another user?
Find it (a) in the forum or on a map of users, or the link somewhere that he (a) has described or discussed. Click on your username. This will open the user profile that you want to contact. Click "send message to this user", type your message in the text box and click the "send message". The message you sent is shown above a new text box empty. That's it: do not click the button "send message" again. If you have already sent a message to this user, you name it (a) will be on your list of contacts: open your profile, click on "Messages", find the desired user name and proceed from there.
How do I contact a user if I only know his username?
You can find it by rank. In your user profile, click on its position in the rank. In the window that opens, there is a search field, where it says Search username. Enter the user name and click search. Note that the name must exactly match the user (no matter, however, if the letters are uppercase or lowercase). If you have trouble finding it, you can ask for help from other users in the forum. Maybe some of us may find the desired user.
How can I find out the email address linked to a user account?
You can not. This information is private. You will not find any e-mail here. The only way is to ask the user, by sending him a message.
I have a disagreement with another user. What should I do?
Bring the items to the forum. We will mediate the "ceasefire" between you and another user.
Someone keeps editing my places!
If you have a dispute, please notify the fellow user and moderators in the WikiMapia Forum. They'll try to resolve issues, but only if parties are willing to discuss their sides of the issue accurate and fairly.
