May I delete a comment of yours?
Hello Beland,

on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Completely_Fair_Scheduler talk page you say that "the article could use a basic explanation of how the algorithm actually works". I think in the time from when you wrote that comment the article has been expanded to actually explain this. Can I thus remove your comment? -- TomasPospisek (talk) 21:34, 21 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your diligence! People generally don't delete comments on talk pages; usually the thing to do in this type of situation is to add another comment in the same section saying the article has since been improved and the requested addressed. -- Beland (talk) 07:45, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I think I appreciate the reasons in favor of not deleting a comment. However there are also reasons in favor of deleting comments namely, consuming as little of people's precious attention and life time (a persons mental resources will be used to identify and scroll past content that is no more relevant each time a person clicks on the talk page) if there is not a superior reason to do so. I feel that the reasons to delete the comment, which does not serve any practical purpose any more, is outweighting the reasons to keep it (note, that people still can see the talk page's history in the diffs AFAIK). Based on this reasoning I would like to ask your permission to remove your comment. Thanks -- TomasPospisek (talk) 10:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Sure, when I want to do that sort of cleanup I archive comments, moving the ones that seem taken care of from the talk page to an archive page. Sometims I purge an entire talk page so only the unaddressed or borderline comments remain on the talk page, and the rest are archived.  I've also seen people use done to help editors skip over already-addressed comments. -- Beland (talk) 11:19, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
