That works well for a short comment or a series of short comments, following the mail and email convention (sig at end). It would also work well for individual resources. But it could easily get confusing with longer or more complex content -- multiple paragraphs, bulleted lists (see, e.g., [[Tamil/Tamil#Topical_word_lists]]). That includes sections; even if a section initially has only one item in it, you don't want to have to try to remember to reformat the signing when you add more. -- [[User:Mamandel|Mamandel]] 15:42, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
