Just a little side note: when editing, it's polite to include something in the summary that says what you've done -- for example, if you add a new solution to a task, it's nice to put something like "added language" in the summary so that others can see what you've done. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 20:11, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
@[[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]]: Oh, alright. Thank you. I am new to editing wiki-like stuff.
: No sweat. Everyone has to start somewhere. Mediawiki has a pretty thorough guide to all things related to editing [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents#For_editors here]. Might want to look through there.
: Another thing. It's courteous to sign what you post on talk pages by adding <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> (that's 2 dashes and 4 tildes) at the end of what you've written. It'll automagically add your sig (or your username and timestamp, if you don't have a sig defined).
: ('''Only''' do this on talk pages -- don't sign edits to tasks or elsewhere like this.) -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 21:27, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
: An aside from me; if you check out the 'edit' tab of your user preferences, you'll see an option titled "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". If you enable that, the wiki will help you remember to enter a summary note. I use that in conjunction with "Show preview on first edit" to help keep my edits sane. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 22:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you all! I'll start checking these stuff ASAP.

Hi MasterFocus, welcome to Rosetta Code. I noticed that you have put your name in comments in some of your entries. We don't normally do this on RC and leave it to the history tab to show who did what, when. That is the history tab on a tasks page, or the "[[Special:Contributions/MasterFocus|my contributons]]" tab of each individual user. The main reason is that anyone is allowed to come along later and "improve" on entries, making the history the only way to work out who did what, when. (There could be other reasons too).<br>
I think I might have added an original authors name to something once, but that was because the code was not my own and I had asked the original authors permission for the code to go on RC under its license (and they had agreed). I didn't want anyone to mistake authorship. Anyway, welcome again. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 23:46, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
