Hi. I reply to messages on the sender's talk page.

archive
The archive is interesting. I hadn't thought of keeping letters. I suppose it's easier to find letters than using the history list. --Chuck Marean 23:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- You don't have to archive everything immediately either. It's easier to just let it build up over a few months/weeks, then archive it to a new page once it gets unwieldy.
- A table of contents will automatically appear when they're are more than 3 sections headings, so navigation remains easy.
- And yeah, it's much easier than having to search the history file everytime, eg if you need to find a link you mentioned only a few weeks ago. -Quiddity 01:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Tutorial changes
Hello, Chuck. I would suggest that you discuss potentially drastic changes, such as this one, on the talk page of the article before enacting it. I don't think it would have consensus. (You removed the sidebar that most would regard as an important convenience. Second, all of the text has been removed and I feel that I am not the only one to believe that the text was helpful in situating and introducing the reader.) I've reverted the changes and want to make you aware. (You should feel free to revert back if you don't agree with me that such a drastic change needs discussion.) --DanDanRevolution 01:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm gonna repeat my comments from earlier: On such important pages (as tutorial, portal:browse, help pages, etc), things are in a continuous state of improvement everywhere, and many of these pages have a group of active maintainers, with a plan they're slowly working towards, or from!
Might i humbly suggest, that you spend more time editing article pages, and observing the general procedures/methodologies at work here, before jumping into fixing backend pages headfirst? Plus the articles are what need the most help!
There are all kinds of things to do and read, listed at the Community Portal.
I hope that all kinda makes sense :) Thanks again. -Quiddity 05:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Introduction
Although this page is not a sandbox, the page itself urges people to edit the page and try things out. The current comment has long been the standard - short and to the point. I suggest discussing your proposed changes on the talk page.
Thanks!!! for helping revert the vandalism - since the bot has been effective at watching the page, vandalism watch requires much less effort; however, keeping off profanity and copyrighted material is a human task - so any help you could give in that area would be much appreciated especially by me :) - Trödel 22:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Also you should review the reply to your protection request.
Why it is important that this page remain editable
- The whole purpose of this page is 1) to let people edit, and 2) to show the trust/welcoming nature of the community. Unfortunately that means that the page is vandalized frequently; however, if you review the history, the number of inappropriate edits << (is much less than) the number of total edits. If you are concerned, please sign up at Cleaning Department - Dust Removal on Introduction to help keep it clean :)
- For me, it is very important to remain editable, because that says to new users of wikipedia: "Welcome, we trust you, join our community and help us build the a great encyclopedia." (in a way much better than words) Trödel 07:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
