List of Uzbek proverbs
When you listed this article for deletion (if you did), I'm sure you didn't mean to delete the contents. I have restored it. Deb 17:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- OK. Well, blanking is not a deletion method. You need to nominate articles for deletion under the guidelines, so that people can see the contents and judge for themselves. It's worth swotting up on the conventions. See Misplaced Pages:Deletion Deb 11:43, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Per machine translation, somewhat massaged (I don't know whether the original was dodgy Russian or the machine translation from Systrans isn't too good), "Я люблю Misplaced Pages. Очень хорошо. Я хочу быть admin. Сделайте мной admin" translates as "I love Misplaced Pages very much. I want to be an admin. Make me an admin". I'm having increasing difficulty assuming good faith with the user concerned... Tonywalton | Talk 08:39, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Re:Blanking talk page
According to Misplaced Pages:Removing warnings, "after a reasonable time has elapsed, archiving one's talk page, including the vandal warning, is acceptable." According to Misplaced Pages:Talk pages#Etiquette, "Others delete comments after they have responded to them." and "Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages without replying (if a reply would be appropriate or polite) will probably be interpreted as hostile."
User:Heqong was blanking the entire page and not merely removing warnings. Given that the page was of moderate length, and some editors in good standing actively remove completed discussions from their talk pages, it was appropriate fo Heqong to do this. Furthermore, only a small proportion of the page consisted of warnings and Heqong did not seem to be purposely ignoring other users or refusing to respond to their comments. The page was blanked long after the warnings had been posted
Based on my understanding of the policy, it is fine to archive one's talk page via blanking, but it is not fine to selectively remove warnings from a talk page, especially if this is done out of anti-social tendencies or spite, as evidenced by a vindictive edit summary such as "Delete shit". Just because a page contains warnings does not mean it can never be archived. --Jiang 12:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Blanking of a talk page does not constitute destruction of evidence because the page history is being preserved. If Heqong were to move the talk page to a subpage, and then request the subpage be deleted in order to erase the page history, then we should be concerned. In any case, if page blanking somehow disrupts the arbcom evidence gathering process (which is already over), then it is up to arbcom (and not us) to take action. But I don't think it has, or is being, disrupted since arbcom evidence pages often link to page history and diff links, with the view that current versions of pages are always changing. The evidence has been already presented at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Heqong/Evidence, and arbcom is currently in the voting phase, based on the evidence provided on that page. Nowhere on that page is the current version of User talk:Heqong linked.
By "long after the warnings had been posted" I did not mean it as a matter of months. I meant it as a matter of days. Normally, when users purposely try to blank and ignore warnings, it is done immediately, within hours, or at least by the next time they log in. It is not done after six days of active editing and active discussion on the very same talk page.
The particular post, which you claim did not receive a response from Heqong, was responded to here. Although many of the posts concerned Heqong's behavior, most were not actual "warnings for vandalism". This was an actual warning, issued by an administrator warning of an impending block. Most of the other postings did not qualify as such. Regardless, I really don't see how the blanking was done to deliberately mislead other editors or to ignore the warnings. Heqong simply blanked his pages and left, which is entirely permissible.
Your creation of a separate archive was unnecessary and unneeded. The archive already exists in the page history. The page history is linked from the talk page itself, via the "history" tab. Anyone seeing a blank page will know a history exists, and will go there if the need arises, as any blank page without a history would qualify for speedy deletion. If you truly remain concerned that the page blanking might disrupt the arbcom case, the make it known here.--Jiang 13:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
