[edit] Wikipedia Timestamp

I believe this article should have a link to the Wikipedia policies or protocols on timestamping. I've been searching, and haven't found any such policies. gnomelock 00:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

You look for Wikipedia:Timestamp, which redirects to Wikipedia:Signatures. -- ADNghiem501 (talk) 01:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Some bot is linking to Timestamp when talking of Wikipedia signatures on user talk pages. See "what links here". --kAtremer (talk) 11:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The article links to three terms as if it was a disambiguation page

I offer to rename this article to Trusted timestamping and create a separate Timestamp disambiguation page, which will link to:

  • Unix time
  • Time code
  • Trusted timestamping
  • ICMP Timestamp.

I've done that. The article on timestamps in digital signature is moved to Trusted timestamping. --kAtremer 07:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
It was an improvement much over-due! Thanks for doing it! It finally opens up for an improvement of the Trusted timestamping article as I have suggested in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cryptography#Trusted_timestamping. Cheers. Except the disambiguation link to trusted timestamping involves the assumption of public key signature trusted timestamping I am trying to correct...

[edit] Types of timestamp

  • Unundapted: in a record of something (i.e. edition, loading and so on) with the day and time of edition or loading and don´t updates never more (i.e. 15:16 UTC).
  • Updated:
    • Updates everytime the page is edited. Up to a new edition, the date and time is stored. It can only show the last edition date and time.
    • Updates, with the current date or time, everytime the page is read or reloaded.

[edit] Article thinks it's a disambiguation

This is a stub with a semi-disambiguation attached, not a true disambiguation. Machete97 (talk) 22:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
