Signing Comments

The character tilde (~) is used when adding a comment to a Talk page. You should sign your comment by appending four tildes ( ~ ) to the comment so as to add your user name plus date/time:


 * User:Patricia Zhang 13:40, Jan 14, 2007 (UTC)

Adding three tildes will add just your user name:


 * User:Patricia Zhang

and adding five tildes gives the date/time alone:


 * 13:40, Jan 14, 2007 (UTC)
