The nick of the original author of an article shouldn't be changed to the nick of the last person who edited the article. Maybe something like

Orignally posted by somebody

its easy to find out who is the original author and who did edit what, just hit the revisions link.

book pages are our wiki, there is no real sense of authorship in a wiki (there is a history of authorship but no ownership) so this isn't something we should worry about.

cheers, Alaa

Thanks Darknesswolf and newcomer, this reference is great. Now even a lame manager like me (serious, I'm a lamer; ask Alaa) can handle wiki syntax.
