Wikipedia:Tips/How to sign comments
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On talk pages, it is proper etiquette to sign and date your messages. To do this, add four tildes (~~~~) to the end of your message. When you save the page, these will be converted to your signature plus the current date and time. The default "sig" is your username, but you can customize it in your preferences menu).

Signing your posts prevents readers from getting your messages confused with those by other users; with the date/time stamp included, other users can follow the flow of the conversation.
