User talk:Aetaiwa Eesa

Are we not supposed to...?
Are we not supposed to and/or allowed to take credit for articles we have worked on by writing "guide by CHAR" or "updated by CHAR" at the bottom of the page? I have seen many articles that are stamped with this info, and I think anyone who takes the time to make an article should be allowed to claim responsibility (and get credit for) his work. I also see no reason why we shouldn't be able to take credit. Those are just my thoughts. What are your thoughts on the topic?

Also, when you delete something that someone else put in an article (other than for the purpose of updating it), you should put a reason for the deletion. It is rude to simply wipe out what another user put in an article without a stated reason... Aetaiwa Eesa 02:02, 02 July 2008 (PDT)


 * No, you're not. The username is displayed in the history of the page and it is not necessary for it to be in the article itself. Don't revert those edits again. Skinmeister 09:15, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Might I ask why we cannot take credit? (Our user name being hidden in the history is not taking credit). Also, why do you have the authority to tell other users what they can and can't do? (I'm just asking, not arguing). Aetaiwa Eesa 02:19, 02 July 2008 (PDT)


 * Basically, if everyone put their name down every time they made an edit then there would be pages where the contributors list would be longer than the article itself. No edits 'belong' to anyone, they are released under an open licence.
