Posting birth dates of minors

There is a deletion discussion concerning a user page in which the user in question posted the birth dates of his children. Is this a practice that we want to discourage, and if so, should something to that effect be included in this guideline?

The page has been updated. The children's birth dates have been removed. Now it is worthy of a keep. Michael John Lewis (talk) 23:06, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

C (talk · contribs)

Hello, I noticed Amit6 (talk · contribs) created a bunch of subpages of User:C back in 2009/10 and categorized several of them into Category:Genealogy formatting templates. This seems to be wrong, since C (talk · contribs) hasn't edited since 2006, so is a misleading place to put pages not associated with User:C, and Userpages aren't supposed to categorize into non-userpage-categories. What should be done with these odd and misplaced pages? -- 65.92.181.174 (talk) 04:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Delete those pages. Amit6 (talk) 07:34, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

As you created this great mass of pages, I think it'll go through successfully if you add {{db-author}} to each of them. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

A TfD is not appropriate. TfD's explicitly exclude speedy deletion candidates and are only for pages in the template name space. I have requested someone with an AWB bot account mark all of them for speedy deletion. There may be more appropriate ways to go about getting them deleted. Makyen (talk) 03:25, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

I requested help at WP:Administrators' noticeboard#Speedy deletion of 1,397 pages. Johnuniq (talk) 03:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

 Done See WP:Administrators' noticeboard#Speedy deletion of 1,397 pages Thanks, Johnuniq and Soap. Makyen (talk) 05:53, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Discussion about changing WP:REMOVED regarding active sanctions

As a result of a recent ANI discussion, there is a discussion underway at the Village Pump about:

1. changing the guideline to allow removal of active sanction notices from user talk pages
2. creation of a separate meta-user page (user sanction:username) where all sanctions are logged for a user.

I'm not trying to start a parallel discussion here, rather give folks a heads-up that this is underway. Toddst1 (talk) 14:17, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Removing block notices at shared IP addresses

Is there any reason why we don't prohibit this? It seems a no-brainer that if an IP is shared other people trying to use that IP should be able to view the block notice. Dougweller (talk) 13:22, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Expired block notices should be removed so that new editors who may use the IP don't see them. On first impression we want Misplaced Pages to appear to be a friendly, anyone can edit place, not a place where, as Tim Simonite wrote in Technology Review "The loose collective running the site today, estimated to be 90 percent male, operates a crushing bureaucracy with an often abrasive atmosphere that deters newcomers who might increase participation in Misplaced Pages and broaden its coverage."

Sorry, I meant active ones. I should have been more specific. Dougweller (talk) 19:04, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I thought we already did per "removal of notice of active sanctions" NE Ent 19:09, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Ok, for some reason I was thinking of community and ArbCom sanctions, but of course blocks are sanctions. Thanks for the reminder. Dougweller (talk) 14:59, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
