		+	==Summaries & signeries==
		+	I admire your recognition of the fact that nobody likes to be reverted or deleted without an explanation. There's actually a much easier way to do so, though. Click "edit" above this section: see the box below the text field marked "Summary:"? If you were to put something there, it would show up beside the record of your edit in the page's history and in [[Special:RecentChanges\|recent changes]]. And yes, it's strongly encouraged, for the reasons you mentioned (except you don't have to bother when reverting vandals; then you can just put "rv/v" for "revert vandalism"). Another, unrelated thing: on talk pages, it's nice to sign your posts. The easiest way to do this is to type "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>" at the end; the software translates this into your username, linked to your userpage, plus the date and time.<br>
		+	One more thing: You seem to be interested in editing and commenting on a more involved basis than the passing visitor, and if so I can't recommend highly enough simply reading through the pages under [[Help:Contents\|Help]]. In most places, "help" is just a resource you go to when you're stumped; these pages are more like a succinct crash course in everything-you-need-to-know-to-start-hrwikiing. They're all helpful, but mostly [[Help:Editing\|Editing]] and [[HRWiki:Standards\|Wiki standards]]. I strongly suggest reading those two straight through.<br>
		+	Good luck! I'm glad you're getting more involved, and I hope this is the start of a long and glorious wikizenship! —[[User:AbdiViklas\|AbdiViklas]] 03:54, 17 May 2006 (UTC) <small>(There, see? I just typed <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to get that!)</small>
