Friendly note regarding talk page messages
Hello. In regards to your notes on User talk:168.140.181.4, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 12:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That may have been the case at one time, but was changed as per Wikipedia community consensus years ago. The official policy on WP:VAN was updated  1096 days ago to reflect the fact that editors may remove content at will from their own talk page.  Likewise WP:USER was explicitly updated  696 days ago.  If you are not familiar with it, you might also be interested to read the Don't restore removed comments essay, which elaborates on this general idea.  Thanks again for your time, Kralizec!

An article that you have been involved in editing, List of police stations in Karachi, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/List of police stations in Karachi (2nd nomination). Thank you. I know you had it up for speedy but in this case a slower approach is warranted. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:13, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
