Wikipedia talk:Moved

I propose an article on the practice of moving text out of an article and onto its talk page. Many contributors feel this is better than simply deleting the text, in certain cases.

The moved text can be highlihted with deletion and insertion markup, and otherwise dissected and discussed. This is especially helpful in defusing an edit war.

The disputed text can be worked on collaboratively on the talk page, and then moved back to the article after consensus is reached. --Uncle Ed 01:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

A lively discussion ensued. I wonder if anyone who remembers it, would like to comment on the effectiveness of the text move? --Uncle Ed 01:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
