User talk page blanking concern
editRegarding user talk pages, it is best to not delete notices, but instead, to archive them. You will find how to do this here [1], under "When pages get too long." Your talk page is intended to serve as a place to discuss your contributions. It ends up being a sort of a history of the work you've done and the conflicts you've been in, or the praise you've received. It's alright to archive comments or warnings, but blanking your talk page is not considered acceptable, as it is not yours. Please read WP:USERPAGE and WP:TALK. Actively erasing non-harassing personal messages is often interpreted as hostile. In the past, this kind of behavior has been viewed as uncivil. For this reason, if your deletion of notices and concerns on your user talk page is to keep the "clutter" down, I suggest that you instead create archives for these messages. I would be happy to help you do just that if you ask me to. -Kukini 19:30, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I appreciate your, "concern" and will keep your viewpoints and suggestions in mind for the future. T.C. Craig 18:40, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the poverty article would benefit from this Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive --since you have help a lot with it please cast your vote.futurebird 17:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Paid sources
editYou can address this issue at WT:V or WT:RS. I'm not sure but I think paid sites can be used as sources although free material should be preferred. It is like printed material or sites that are not in English. You can expect that someone (but not everyone) can eventually verify the material. Anyway, I think this should only be allowed as a last resort. JRSP 22:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
