[edit] Signing your name

Hi Larry gerndt, and thanks for your contributions to Fallen angel! Just thought I'd drop you a friendly note to let you know that you don't need to sign your name on articles - the history function will record your contributions. The idea with articles is that "edits to articles should not be signed, as signatures on Wikipedia are not intended to indicate ownership or authorship of any Wikipedia article." However, signing your name on talk pages (like this one) is recommended, because for discussion-type pages it is important to be able to attach each comment to a particular user. You can read the policy for more information.

Hope this is helpful. As theblueflamingo said already, welcome! ― GrimRevenant 11:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Blue and Grim

Thanks to both of you for the welcome and the corrections. I am thrilled to be even a small part of this amazing project, and am grateful for the kind and friendly help. Larry Gerndt
