Welcome!

Hello, Fandelasketchup, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:39, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Signatures

Fandelasketchup, judging by your edits at Talk:Comparison of American and British English, you don't yet understand the way signatures work in Wikipedia. All you need to do is add four tildes (~~~~) after each new comment, and Wikipedia will fill in your username and the correct date. If you later tweak your comment a little, you don't need to change the date. If you need to change it substantially, it is probably better to just start a new comment.

Must I do that also for articles or just for talk pages, RockMagnetist? I mean, in the edit pages for articles I also see the signature symbol in the visual editor. That's why I am confused. Also, I think signatures on articles could really prevent edit wars --Marce 16:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Also, the way I do it when editing is far different than what you expect:

I tend to put all I want in separate places (like this comment) and I only sign after the LAST thing has been said. Or are you suggesting that when I write a letter/e-mail I should sign it BEFORE the farewell? --Marce 16:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

P.S.: You obviously don't know how to use Wikipedia yourself. Please lear to do that instead of criticizing the way others edit --Marce 16:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
