This page in a nutshell: When leaving a comment on a discussion page in USApedia, please identify yourself as it's author. |
Signatures on USApedia identify you as a user and your contributions to the wiki. They encourage civility in discussions by identifying the author of a particular comment and the date and time at which it was made. Because of that, having an uncivil signature is strongly discouraged. In general, anything that is not allowed in a username should not be used in a signature either.
For a complete description of how to sign your posts and why it is important, see Wikipedia:Signatures
