[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello and [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia|welcome to Wikipedia]]. When you add content to [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk pages]] and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to [[Wikipedia:Signatures|sign your posts]]. There are two ways to do this. Either:
# Add four [[tilde]]s ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
# With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button [[File:OOUI JS signature icon LTR.png|22px|link=Wikipedia:How to sign your posts]] 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 necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
