Revision as of 03:38, 22 November 2012
Quite a few newbies are missing the reminder at the top of the talk pages. My suggestion:
~~~~ | This is a talk page, so please add four tildes ~~~~ to the end of your comments to include your signature. (Or use the signature button at the top of the page.) Thanks!

- I think it's a losing battle. It happens all the time on Wikipedia. I don't think if they can't get it under control, that we could do much better. But that's the defeatist in me. lcarsos (talk) 03:18, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- What about if we did something like
Sign your posts! ~~~~ |
- A little rewording:
Sign your posts with ~~~~ |
- I'm all for the notice, but partial to politeness in a volunteer setting.
Please sign your posts with ~~~~ |
- SineBot of Wikipedia doesn't have available source, but there's a mediawiki extension called abusefilter that I see other wikis using to warn people when they make an unsigned talk post. Also, IronyChef's version of the talk page message looks good enough to me. Vote. Davidy22(talk) 08:42, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
