I'd rather you not edit my talk page. Thanks. Gavin 23:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why? Have I done something to offend you? This page is here for other users to talk to you. You can exert a great amount of control over your user page, but your user talk page is for other users; it's considered bad form to delete their comments without archiving them.

No, you haven't done anything to offend me. I'd rather keep my user talk page clear of boilerplate "Welcome" text that just clutters it up and prevents me from identifying any real messages. Bad form or not, I don't see any value in archiving a seemingly automated "Welcome" message. Gavin 15:48, 15 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I know your goal was simply to improve the text; but in effect, you indirectly succeeded in showing how I might have handled the New York Times article differently. Your edits answered some of the questions I asked myself as I introduced the text you have now tweaked. This was helpful collaboration. --Tenmei (talk) 02:04, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
