User talk:KCrick

Welcome to Wikipedia. With respect to mention of bobbleheads on the discussion page for the Francis Crick article, as far as I can tell Wikipedia policy for discussion pages does not directly cover this kind of issue. I believe that several general Wikipedia practices apply: Wikipedia is not for advertising, but I do not think this mention of the bobble head was really an attempt at advertising. I'm not sure that there is a good reason to mention the bobble head within Wikipedia, but sometimes people who are enthusiastic about a topic just have to mention EVERYTHING about that topic. This kind of obsession can be annoying, but if we are offended by something done by a Wikipedia contributor, be are supposed to move on and try to get over it. Hopefully the annoying behavior will go away if it is ignored. One practical way of dealing with clutter on discussion pages is to move old discussions to an archive page. Fell free to do that; I think everything pre-2006 on the discussion page could go to an archive page. --JWSchmidt 02:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * "Archive rather than delete: Avoid deleting comments on talk pages, particularly comments made by others"

I created an archive page that now includes the bobble head discussion. I hope this helps. --JWSchmidt 22:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
