Signing people's names on articles? You've got to be kidding me. They get the history and their own user page already, and that's enough.
No, it's not. Have you ever wondered why I rarely edit at Wikipedia? it's because I know that nobody will know that an article or paragraph was written by me.
On our projects, such as http://www.nerdypc.org , we give credit for every contributed paragraph or section. We even allow our authors to choose what licence they like (but contributing to an existing article means using the same licences).
For example, see at http://nerdypc.wikinerds.org/index.php/Zsync :
"[...] requests from the server on a second round-trip transmission. This paragraph contributed by Antaeus Feldspar."
"[...] but the .zsync attribute file need not be on the same server as the actual file. This paragraph contributed by ssd."
