[edit] Sign your name, please
Please sign your name on talk pages instead of being so cryptic. Just type four tildas (~~~~). That causes your user name and the time and date to appear. Michael Hardy 00:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Request for edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 21:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
