Your edit on Whirlpools
It isn't appropriate to sign your usernames on Wikipedia. Thank you Albert7777  ( Talk )  06:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

I am editing for a class project and was told to sign using the four tildes. Is there a way to sign my edits without signing my username? Thanks. Paitken2 (talk) 21:12, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sign only your talk page posts using four tildes at then end of the text. You don't need to sign your edits to articles. If your teacher wants to know what edits you made, clicking "History" shows that. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:00, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, there's no need to link common words. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:05, 22 March 2013 (UTC)


 * So I should not sign at the end of each section I edit? Only the end of the article?  Just wanting to make sure I am doing this right. Paitken2 (talk) 00:28, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * To be clear: Don't sign anywhere in an article. This is an article: Chair. Only sign at the end of what you've written on talk pages. Right now you are looking at a talk page. Also, articles have talk pages, like this one: Talk:Chair.

 * I was told by my teacher to sign each edit. Sorry for the confusion!  I have told him about our conversation and will no longer be signing anywhere but talk pages.  Thank you for your help and understanding. Paitken2 (talk) 21:42, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
