Using common reason is of course allowed :) Many times I have found  
that knowing the writer would make things easier. Browsing through  
history is clumsy. I think those who follow the wiki some time get to  
know when to add a signature. When you do add it, you can use ~~~~  
instead of writing your name and time.

Good observation. We should do that.
