Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk page deletions

Hi. I noticed that you deleted a large amount of material from DGG's talk page.

DGG's talk page is enormous and in dire need of shortening, so I'm predisposed toward approval of this and any deletion. Also, the material deleted was largely by you, with some comments related to what you'd written. There's no suggestion of vandalism, and I'm sure your deletion was well-intended.

However, talk page etiquette here says that although you are free to delete anything (written by anyone) from your own talk page, you should not delete anything (even if it's written by you) from another user's talk page (or on an article's talk page). There are rare exceptions, for example when you realize you've said something stupid (or posted it in the wrong place) just after posting it, or when somebody posts something that is blatantly libelous or spam. But, these exceptions aside, even if you're certain that a conversation is dead and buriable, please leave it. DGG can "archive" his old discussions. (And indeed I wish he'd do just that; but as it's his talk page and not mine, I leave this to him.)

This is your talk page, and you are of course very welcome to delete this section! -- Hoary (talk) 02:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I shall probably archive the section in a few days, but even then I will want to keep it intact so that I and anyone else can see it. Please do not tamper with it further. And please, do not ask me anything about this at all until I post on it next. DGG (talk) 03:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

please

Please do not post on my talk further for the next week. You need to give this a rest, and I want to think about other things. DGG (talk) 03:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
