[edit] Newbie tip o' the day...week...month...year

You know where it says to sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~)? That really means just the four tildes and not the parentheses. The parentheses are used to indicate a sort of "aside" meaning, roughly, "Psst, this is what four tildes look like in case you don't know what the heck a 'tilde' is." By signing your posts, that means on talk pages. You never "sign" your work in the main article space, and it's completely unnecessary to sign edit summaries (the little box that appears below the main article when you are editing a page). Because we have page histories (found by clicking the "history" tab at the top of a page), which automatically record your name and the time you made the edit, if you put four tildes in the edit summary box, in the page history, all you will see is four tildes, not a signature. Trust me, it looks a little silly.

• Do sign talk pages
• Don't sign articles
• Do leave out the parentheses
• Don't sign edit summaries

Good luck!
