| == Your template warning == | |||
| Please do not ] as evidence by leaving a canned template "Welcome to Misplaced Pages" warning about ] on the talk page of an editor in good standing and a very long editing history of good faith work on literally thousands of articles. You obviously did not look very deeply into ''my'' editing history ''or'' the efforts of members of ] to try and contain the run away inclusion of excessive lists of non-relevant trivia. Such an imbedded note is absolutely in keeping with the recommendations of ], which completely discourages the creation of such lists, and in fact serves to discourage the addition of such lists instead of leaving editors to clean up such additions. Similar notes are used on many high profile articles by many editors and they have been found to be a great deterrent to the addition of each and every time some mention of the person occurs on ''South Park'' or ''The Simpsons'' or multiple other pop culture media that otherwise have no relationship to the subject of the article. This has nothing to do with ], it has to do with intelligent article management on high profile articles and saving multiple editors from otherwise having to waste productive editing time removing irrelevant additions or searching, for instance, for song lyrics to see if some song is even about the article subject. If you had a concern, it is much better faith to actually approach an editor and type real words and convey your thoughts than to dump a template warning indiscriminately and without discussion or knowing the rationale behind something. ] (]) 22:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
