Signing your posts

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. DuncanHill 19:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Please do not Remove Content

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Wikipedia. Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

This is in relation to your changes to your unsigned post on the Computer Help Desk. Your changes appear to be designed to make the posting look like it was made by another user. Please read the Welcome Box above, and the notice I gave you about signing your posts. Thank you. DuncanHill 20:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

   I need some help signing. --Gungnir 20:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

To sign, simply type ~~~~ or click on the signature box above the edit window. I would also point out that there is already a User called User:Gungnir, and that signatures should not mislead as to the identity of the poster. DuncanHill 20:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

  I will change it right away, I didn't know.  But I don't want my full name/user id showing up
  just my signature.  Sorry, but I am new.--Gungnir 20:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

You can read lots more about signatures here Wikipedia:Signatures. By the way, to indent text without it displaying in a little box you type a : at the start of the paragraph. DuncanHill 20:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

New User

Wikipedia can be confusing to all of us - not just to new users! Do have a good read through the information above, there are some really useful links there, which will help you get the most out of Wikipedia. DuncanHill 20:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I looked at many of the links but I am still unhappy. Actually, I am definitely upset and frustrated about the user name signature. --iceplanet 20:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
