Removing outdated discussion
I'm new to editing, though I've read Wikipedia for a long time and am somewhat familiar with its editing rules.

Question: Someone on a talk page identifies vandalism or some other problem on the main article. Someone else then corrects the problem on the article's page. After that, the original comment is still on the discussion page though the problem no longer exists. Can I simply cut out that comment or section from the discussion page? Is there a risk of being accused of something for doing that? Tragic romance 13:31, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi! I'll add my welcome to Pat's.  No, we don't delete messages on article talk pages, we leave them as a history of what's been discussed.  When a page becomes very big, we archive old messages, but they're still available for anyone who comes along later to review. (There is one exception to this -- if someone vandalizes a talk page, we do delete that.  But legitimate discussion is never deleted.) -- Jim Douglas (talk)  (contribs)  13:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Block for disagree?
I should point out that admins are absolutely not supposed to block people merely for disagreeing with them, and if you see this happening I would very much like to hear about it and would investigate, or you could post it on WP:ANI. Adminship is a bunch of tools, not a higher rank (indeed, Wikipedia doesn't have ranks in the first place). ( Radiant ) 18:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Gasoline bandit
Gasoline bandit has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this information might not be verifiable. Please review Verifiability for the relevant policy. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so, citing reliable sources.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Articles for deletion for consensus.

Article on Argument from Beauty
Hi T.R. While you were commenting un-sourced I was adding some more sources. If you'd like to go back to Argument from beauty I hope you'll find there are enough. If there are any more specific points that you think should be sourced more I will add them. But I think this now has more refs than most of the other arguments for or against the Existence of God - certainly a comparable number. NBeale 23:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Cargo Cults talk page edit
TR: I was wondering what your reasonings for this edit were. I'm trying to AGF, but I really don't know why you would remove so much text.&mdash;ScouterSig 18:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

WHOA -- I didn't do that on purpose. I was trying to add a section at the bottom. I don't know how that happened. Sorry! [And thanks for AGF.] Tragic romance 11:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
