*This address is monitored around the clock. Staff will typically acknowledge your email <strong><em>immediately</em></strong>. (Check your junk folder.)

* Use [[Bharatpedia:Emailing users|email]], [[Bharatpedia:IRC#List of useful channels|IRC]], [[BP:Discord|Discord]], or other <em>low-visibility</em> methods, <strong>not noticeboards</strong> or talk pages.
* If in doubt, the primary method is to use IRC and join the {{IRC|bharatpedia-en-revdel}} channel. To do this quickly and using your browser, click here: <strong>[https://web.libera.chat/?channel=#bharatpedia-en-revdel Join IRC channel]</strong>.
