By the way, I know the wiki suggests you should timestamp your comments, but this only applies to old-fashioned wiki talk pages, and not to article bodies. (And also not for Message Walls that Wikia has come to use these days.) It's not just because it clutters an article body, but because it is actually unnecessary&mdash;the article's edit history records every edit every user has made, recording when they made the edit and exactly what they changed. Look here to see what I mean; it very neatly chronicles all of our edits, including our mistakes. It helps keep the whole process most transparent, and also makes it easier to revert mistakes.
