Not really a question, but a discovery! Wikitree signs my research notes for me if I type ~~~~ at the end. No need to type my own name, date and time. Great shortcut.

Yes, a good idea to sign your notes, either with the shortcut or otherwise. That way people will know who to contact in order to discuss the information, without having to browse through all the profile updates.
