*READ THIS FIRST OR YOUR MESSAGE MAY BE IGNORED*Probably not, but read it anyway.
- If you leave a message here, I'll reply here. If I've left you a message, you can reply there or here. If you chose to reply here, I will respond here.
- If you are pissed off at something I've done, assume good faith. Most likely, whatever I did was with the best of intentions. If it was an administrative action, please consider that I'm a new admin, so I'm still learning. If you decide to pitch a fit on my talk page anyway, note that I endorse WP:DGAF.
- If you're coming here to request I review your Good Article Nomination or your Featured Article Candidate I'm sorry, but I'm not doing these right now. Please don't ask because I'll feel bad about refusing.

A favor
Hey, I see you're taking something of a break for now (you okay?) but I was wondering if you might want to work your copyediting magic on Domestic sheep for me? Hope you're well, VanTucky talk 20:56, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be around. I'll look at it. Lara_Love Talk 03:35, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't know. I'm concerned, is there anything we can do? Where's the motive? It could just be a freak-out, that's his style. Or... Hmmm. Dfrg_msc 22:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Why?
I've reverted your edits to User talk:Blueboar. Please read Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. Regards, Lara_Love Talk 05:44, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- That is a three line essay, not a policy or guideline. The editor has always done this to avoid criticism, this is in contrast to the best practice - archiving. The page is 'not his personal page, but deleting it forces every new editor to reinvent the wheel - and remain oblivious to an entrenched pattern of behaviour on the project. Then try to explain COI and OWN. The good cop/bad cop routine of the user, and MSJapan, is an embarrasment to the community. I read the short essay, now go and lecture on AGF here please. Regards, cygnis insignis 06:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- I've worked on the article, I've worked with Blueboar. He is not required to archive. It's the preferred practice, but not required. Anyone can look at the history as easy as they can look at archives. Reverting an editors changes to their own talk page is not acceptable. Lara_Love Talk 06:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ta for the reply. I was getting too aggravated to be editing or contributing to process, but I think that we may be advantaged by a short discussion. I do not regard edit histories to be transparent and open, especially to newer users. It also rests on the premise that user space is for private use, rather than facilitating the improvement of the encylopedia. Every user who does not practice archiving may gain some advantage from deleting others comments. It is highly questionable, except in the case of contraventions of NPA et al, whether the encyclopedia is improved and pretty easy to see where it would not be. Am I overlooking something? cygnis insignis 07:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, you're right that WP:DRRC is a three line essay, not a guideline. Here's a guideline, WP:TALK#User talk pages. I see your point, really. But users are not required to archive, and it's not your place to attempt to force it. He's an established editor, this is his chosen way to manage his talk page. Nothing constructive will come from such behavior, in my opinion. Lara_Love Talk 07:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- You are probably right. My zealous action was a response to my contributions - to an ongoing discussion - being zapped. It makes it very difficult for anyone following the discussion from my talk page, for example, where his somewhat patronising and inaccurate replies remain. My statements and critique were not redundant, IMHO. Deleting other peoples comments can be construed as a hostile action. Do you take the view that it is his talk page, or is that a reference to the page title? I appreciate it is a difficult definition. Thanks for replies, cygnis insignis 08:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

It is his talk page. While it's still a community page and all the same rules—for the most part—apply, he's not breaking policy by removing comments. While it may be rude and a less than constructive practice, the act itself it not wrong. And while anyone can edit anyone else's user space just as they can project space, it's good practice to respect the user and their wishes. Lara_Love Talk 17:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Sunset Marquis revisited
Hello. You wanted to know how it worked. I brought up the full history for Nobody's Daughter, Sunset Marquis (album), and Exile in Blonde in three windows. Then deleted Nobody's, moved Exile to Nobody's, deleted it again, undeleted Sunset, moved that to Nobody's and deleted that too. That puts the three histories together. There was a bit of overlap in the histories, so I selected all edits and then unselected the overlapping edits with reference to the three open windows of history. This is important, or the diffs in the merged page won't reflect what the editors really did. Gimmetrow 04:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Could you help me out? ^^
Dear Lara, I was looking for an administrator and found your page. I have a couple of favours to ask you: [1] Kettel page is kept vandalised; could you please protect it from edits by unregistered users? [2] I want to use this photograph on Russian Wiki page but its engine doesn't allow pasting links in one language section to pictures uploaded to Wiki section in another language. If it's not inconvenient to you could you move this picture to Wiki Commons? Kowarisuki (talk) 17:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
