Signing contributions

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions.

I noticed that you add your username inside article texts. Signing posts with the four tildes is done on talk pages, but we don't do it within the actual articles. The reason is that we wish articles to be as easy to read as possible. Instead, we use the article "history" function to identify who wrote what. Welcome again and happy editing.

Well, the things that you write about have to be referenced; based on reliable and verifiable sources. Please make sure you check out those policies, as we want to build an accurate encyclopedia. :-) Khoikhoi 04:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
