[edit] Removal of messages from talk page

I would appreciate it if you would not remove messages from other users from my talk page, even if you disagree with them. Thank you. --Varco 17:56, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Discussion at User talk:Varco.

With what right you remove messages from my talk page??!! Luka Jačov 09:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm curious as to why you would edit my talk page to delete a message. Thanks in advance for your reply.--Beth Wellington 18:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Beth, Luka, Varco and anyone else whose talk page I reverted: User:Miro.gal was mass-canvassing users he/she believed would agree with his/her viewpoint on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/International_Institute_of_Management; this was a blind categorical action as can be seen by the fact that many of the users he/she targetted had long stopped editing Wikipedia. Canvassing hurts Wikipedia for many reasons. When this action was brought up on WP:AN/I, I responded in the usual manner of undoing the canvassing, although the damage was partly done. I apologize for not previously explaining on your talk page at the time I removed the message. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-08-15 11:41Z

Thank you for your response. I am still troubled by someone editing my talk page by deletion, rather than by adding a comment. I agree that the tone on the query was problematic, and by the way, I haves seen worse, but I took that into account in my response on the AfD page. I do not think that because someone has the philosphy of inclusion, that constitutes the bias that is referred to in the response above yours.--Beth Wellington 15:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] username question

I am not sure what to do when I come across an obscene username so I am going to ask you. There is a user with the username of "Penisjunkie" and I just thought that that username might be inappropriate;however, I am not an admin so I do not know how much I can do regarding the issue. I was just curious and wondering if you could request a name change or block the account because of the name. Thanks a lot and happy editing. Wikipediarules2221 05:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. User:Penisjunkie has already been blocked by User:DVD R W. In the future you can bring it up at WP:AN/I. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-08-17 05:24Z

Okay, thanks a lot. Wikipediarules2221 05:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
