Policy: Signatures

Always remember to sign messages you leave on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ) This lets readers know who said what and makes discussions easier to follow.

In general, you should only sign your own posts, but if you see a post which someone has left unsigned, then you may add the code " " to the end of that post. Find the name of the user and the time at which they posted the message by viewing the page's history.
