Page userfied

I moved Talk:List of general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints/August 2011 to List of general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints/August 2011. In my opinion it was obvious that said talkpage was actually a userdraft. If you disagree with me, please write me on my talkpage. Debresser (talk) 00:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't waste my time on it - there will always be wikipedia editors that think they're helping when they are really pissing off the occasional editor. This is unfortunate, because, IMHO, it is one of the main reasons that the English Wikipedia is having a problem keeping and getting new editors. Don't let it bother you - he fixed it - I do think that he should explain his reasoning - instead of responding the way he did to me. For example, if he said the reason I moved it is because talk namespace pages were showing up in a category for article namespaces - then I would have easily understood why he acted immediately. Though I would suggest removing the categories from the page would be less disruptive than moving the page. At least knowing his motives would help. Unfortunately, he choose not to explain which just made the disruptive edit annoying instead of - "oh, I see, thanks".

My advice on editors like this is to interact as little as possible with them and focus on getting the result you want - for me that was getting the page out of userspace - since it would be less likely to be edited there by anyone but me. --Trödel 13:58, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
