Hi, just wanted to inform you that it is generally considered bad form to summarily blank your talk page as it gives the appearance to others that you are hiding or cowering from criticism (not that I am saying this is the case here). Usually people create archives for their old discussions, (when it gets full or they leave temporarily for some reason) which you could do by making a page such as User talk:Willowx/Archive 1 or something of that nature. --TJive 07:39, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
- hi TJive. Thanks for the tip. It is more of a personal preference. There is still the history function. I was viewing it as more of an inbox, and when the "mail" was dealt with, tried to clear it off my "desk" if you know what I mean. But your archive idea is maybe preferable -- I'm not too much of a computer person, so techy code things are not my forte! Thanks Willowx 08:09, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Also note, though this is entirely up to you, that it is customary to place the talk sections in chronological order with the oldest first. --TJive 09:58, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

I would ask that you reconsider your vote at Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Michael Lohman. You said "now that he has not been convicted, the page strikes me as dubious" and I have just edited the article to address that concern and clarify why I believe the article is still noteworthy.

- Sorry, I see this as a non-notable, non-public figure. Not even a conviction. Most of all, I worry about people using Misplaced Pages for harrassment campaigns and personal vendettas. What's next? Sex offender lists? Dead beat Dad pages? Seems entirely inappropriate. If you really want to make personal pages, get a free blog. Willowx 7 July 2005 10:04 (UTC)
