Hullo. Today I would like to remind users who are utilizing a Talk Text Template / talk bubble in their conversations within talk pages this: "Please add a timestamp into your talk bubbles". In wiki conversations, it is encouraged to leave a signature to identify one as the author of the block of text. It is considered good wikiquette to do so, as it helps others to keep track of discussions, and to understand who holds which opinions. One needs only to write four tildes to do so. While three or five tildes is okay, four is more encouraged, as it includes both your name and the timestamp to show when you leave a statement. The same is still applied when using talk bubbles. There should be a timestamp for everyone so that they know when such opinions are left. However, this seems to be disregarded by a large number of users here. This is regrettable, and because of this, something must be done. As of 11:01, 15 February 2009 (UTC), users are compelled to create a means to leave a timestamp and use them in their talk bubble. There will be a time when enforcement is carried out, and those who still have not the means to leave a timestamp in their talk bubbles will have their talk bubble locked for editing. Those who attempt to bypass this by creating another talk bubble will have this other talk bubble deleted and user subsequently blocked from editing. Of course, you might think this is somewhat tyrannical, but hey, I had to do something when people still haven't got the message I left for the past years. Thank you for your cooperation. | |||

- My signiture already has a timestamp. Do I copy that code for my bubble, ILHI, or is there a different one? BlueLionheart

I approve of this too, as it annoys me when things aren't time stamped. Even something as simple as archiving my talk page is annoying since I can't use the talk templates to check what the dates should be. More major things like not knowing when a certain conversation took place is also annoying and can result in akward responses and the like. Of course, timestamps aren't infallible, since some people don't read them. A very recent example here. Not only is he responding to something I said in September, but he didn't even answer my question anyway. -_- | |||

Deadlyslashsword - +It takes disaster to learn a lesson, but you're going to make it through the darkest nights+ TALK - 22:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC) - Some people betray and cause treason...we're gonna make everything alright. | |||
DSS disapproves, but is cooperating but he does not wish to get banned, which is what would have happenned. If you can't simply check the page's history... | |||

BlueHighwind is annoyed by having to add in this extra code all the time, but understands Bluerfn's logic. By the way, BlueHighwind is looking for some kind of code that will replace the "{{{time}}}" dead code on all his past uses of his Word Bubble with something else, since he's used it about 5000 times in all, and doesn't like all of those bubbles to have a mistake on them. | |||
