Please sign your comments

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Whatever404 (talk) 16:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing your own comments at article Talk pages

I have reverted your change to a comment you made at Talk:Montana Meth Project#Data and accuracy for a fourth time (three edits were yours, one was SarekOfVulcan's), for the reasons I explained in each of my three prior edit summaries. It is bad form to edit comments to which others have already replied. Editors who wish to update their statements are encouraged to use strikethrough, as outlined in WP:REDACT, a Wikipedia guideline which addresses this type of situation. If you need help or explanation, please reply here. Thank you. Whatever404 (talk) 17:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References on article Talk pages

Thank you for coming to the talk page for discussion. I just want to point out that it is better to refrain from using the <ref> tag on article Talk pages, because, unlike in article namespace, there is no References section in which those references are listed.

Also, if web versions of references are available, it is not enough to provide only the names of those references and to fail to provide the links. I can think of two reasons why:

Failing to provide links dumps the work of finding those links in other people's laps. That isn't fair. If you wish to make changes, you have the burden of verifying the accuracy of the proposed changes, and substantiating the proposals with references.
If you don't provide a link, how can we know that we are looking at the same document? I might find a version that is older, newer, published elsewhere or in a different way, with different page numbers, etc. Providing the links is the way to be better assured that we are looking at the same references.

Please add the appropriate links to the Talk page. See Wikipedia:LINK#Syntax for info on how to create links using Wiki markup. Thank you. Whatever404 (talk) 16:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
