Well, don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions, or you can take them to the Help desk. Happy editing, -- The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:24, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Those numbers mean how many characters were added or removed in an edit. For instance, if someone replaces 'the' with 'them', it will say (+1). If someone blanks a section with 1,000 characters, it will say (-1,000). This feature is useful, especially when patrolling for vandals (if you see a huge blanking without an edit summary, it's most likely a vandal).

Hi Karen, noticed your question on Cgoodwin's talk page (I lurk on a few pages for other people and sometimes dive in to answer something). To make your signature appear, you type FOUR tildes. It looks like this: ~~~~ and then when you hit "save page," it uploads as your signature. The default is just your name and talk page, each linked. If you want something fancier, you can customize it in your preferences. Good luck! Montanabw (talk) 20:50, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Have fun photographing things for wikipedia? However, if you found the signature thing a pain in the behind, images are also a challenge...but there IS an easy way to manage them...upload them in wikimedia commons, not on wikipedia, and then release them under a free license, either their "recommended" GDFL-CC license (where they at least have to acknowledge your name) or public domain (where they are free to use without attribution). I got real frustrated finding images that were "legal" to use on wikipedia, and started to take my own for illustrating some of the articles I was working on. So if you want an example of that, here's an article I just finished and one where I took all the photos, too. Sheila Varian. You can click on the images, then when that page opens, click on the link to the image in Commons and see how I uploaded and licensed them. I'm only over at Commons when I have photos to upload, so if you have any questions, pop a message to me on my talk page here. Good luck! Montanabw (talk) 21:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
