Clearing User talk

Hi!

I'd just like to point out that removing information from your user talk page (this page) is considered unwise. Archiving to a sub-page is much prefered, but blanking is genarally not. SeventyThree^(Talk) 02:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• I do not see the benefit of generic information's duplication. The only information removed was a generic "new user" message that was added to my discussion page. As the discussion was no longer relevent or current, I do not see the purpose in keeping it. The history page will keep the old information in case I ever need it; since it was only made to be relevent to me, I don't see why it should remain.

The appropriate articles are Wikipedia:Talk pages#User talk pages, Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#When there is too much text. From your language, it looks like you've read those pages already. I don't have any strong feelings about you removing the welcome message; after all, it is harmless and as you said, 'generic infromation duplication'. I just though I'd give you a heads-up before something else got removed. Perhaps a note at the top of this page stating that you delete rather than archive, so that people know to check the history?
