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?
