| Hi, I know your new to wikipedia but two important points to follow. | |||
| 1) Please don't intersperse your comment in the middle of someone elses signed comment. It's very confusing to other followers of the thread and sometimes even to the person who's comment you made. For example think of this scenario: | |||
| I like cats. I like dogs. Signed GWB | |||
| *DC comes along | |||
| I like cats. | |||
| Well you're an idiot then. Signed DC | |||
| I like dogs. Signed GWB | |||
| Instead you leave your message at the end. If people won't know what you're referring to, then specify it when necessary, for example | |||
| I like cats. I like dogs. Signed GWB | |||
| :You're an idiot for liking cats. Signed DC | |||
| Also, as you noticed from the above, do indent your post with one or multiple columns (:), so people know that you're replying to the post that is one indent above your post. | |||
| 2) Sign with four tildes (] (]) 20:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)) and sign after the end of your post. Don't sign at the beginning. If you make multiple posts, sign each one. | |||

Two things
Hi, I know your new to wikipedia but two important points to follow.
1) Please don't intersperse your comment in the middle of someone elses signed comment. It's very confusing to other followers of the thread and sometimes even to the person who's comment you made. For example think of this scenario:
I like cats. I like dogs. Signed GWB
- DC comes along
I like cats. Well you're an idiot then. Signed DC I like dogs. Signed GWB
Instead you leave your message at the end. If people won't know what you're referring to, then specify it when necessary, for example
I like cats. I like dogs. Signed GWB
- You're an idiot for liking cats. Signed DC
Also, as you noticed from the above, do indent your post with one or multiple columns (:), so people know that you're replying to the post that is one indent above your post.
2) Sign with four tildes (Nil Einne (talk) 20:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)) and sign after the end of your post. Don't sign at the beginning. If you make multiple posts, sign each one.
