Tildes and signatures

Thanks for your contributions on the Species article. Thought I would try to save you some time in the future by explaining the use of those four tildas you're using. Those are just for signing an entry on talk pages, and even then they only go into the actual text. So putting them into an edit summary doesn't really do anything. I mean it doesn't do any harm either, but it doesn't leave a signature or do anything else that's useful. Just thought you should know. Happy editing. -- Fyrefly (talk) 18:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that, most helpful. I'm afraid my contributions are very minor, but I'll try to do them properly in future. Dawright12 (talk) 20:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC) Is that OK?

Eh, 99% of contributions on here are quite minor, but that doesn't mean they aren't helpful. And your edits are just fine. Your edit summaries just had a special flair to them, that's all. -- Fyrefly (talk) 14:00, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the encouragement. I confess to some trepidation when I dare to edit something on here, but hope I am gaining confidence. Thanks again. Dawright12 (talk) 18:37, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Thumbs up!

Nice work expanding Glossary of nautical terms. Keep up the good work! Steven Walling • talk 00:35, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
