[edit] Deletions from talk pages

Please do not delete material from my (or anybody else's) talk page. --RoySmith 21:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Of course if you want to retract a statement then deleting is OKish but striking it through is even better. I dson't know why RoySmith would waste time restoring a comment you made on his talk page when it was clear you were trying to retract the statement and then go on to undo your strikeout when you when you tried that.Very strange.

Sigh. I really don't like people deleting stuff from my talk page, whether it's their own stuff or not. I guess I'm OK with the strikeout, but when you struck your stuff out the first time, you put the <s> markup around the section head too, which messed up the table of contents and made it look like you had deleted it again. By the time I figured out what had gone wrong, I was starting to get annoyed at the whole mess. This whole thing is strange. I notice that somebody deleted a whole bunch of comments from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DoYouDo as well. Deleting text from talk/vote/discussion pages, even if it's completely innocent, tends to get people suspicious about what is going on. Even more so when it's being done by anonymous users. --RoySmith 03:55, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
