Hi. Just out of curiosity; why have you signed the article AFP-L3? Bjelleklang -  talk 15:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Bob 16:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC) Well, I'm new here and I figured that when I write articles I should sign them. Is that not the case?
 * Signing an article is not the current policy for several reasons. Perhaps the most important one is the face that anyone can edit an article you've started, so if I were to sign an article I started, it would make little sense if 50 other users edited the same article... If you need to know who added a particular sentence, or wrote a specific paragraph, you can always take a look at the article history by clicking on the tab labeled 'history' on the top of each page to display any of the stored versions, as well as changes made from one version to another.

 * I put the banner there earlier today. I was looking though this page, which lists all articles not assigned to a category. I came over AFP-L3, noticed that it wasn't very structured compared to other articles, so I put the header in as a flag to notify other users, as well as to automatically add the article to Category:Cleanup_from_December_2005, so editors browsing through that category could see that the article was flagged. It's nothing negative, only a easy and simple indicator to use to notify others that the article should be edited. If you feel like doing so, you are free to remove it as you have much more knowledge about the subject than me, and thus are better qualified to know then the article is factually accurate. Also, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me or any other editor! Bjelleklang -  talk 16:27, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
