MediaWiki is not a email engine. Please post replies directly on the original talk page. (See [[wp:WP:TP]] for how to use talk pages.

:''I noticed you've moved my replies in the past, and while I mostly thought it strange, I'm afraid I must ask you to please not do so in the future for a few reasons: | |||
:* ''This is not Wikipedia. The link you provided is helpful, but those rules are not necessarily applicable everywhere. | |||
:* ''The method of reply used is not improper to my knowledge, as posting replies on the original talk page only sends one user new message updates, especially if they have email updates enabled. | |||
:* ''I have sent messages like the ones you have complained about in the past to other users without problems before. | |||
:* ''The messages I was sending to another user (who in this case happens to be a fellow admin on another wiki) were to discuss how to communicate with each other more efficiently since the web host our wiki was on was making direct communication there difficult, and both of us getting replies to each other was vital. | |||
:* ''The methods we used to communicate did not violate any rules here, and we communicated in a similar manner to each other on the wiki we were discussing without a problem. | |||
:''In short, please do not remove replies from my talk pages or others in the name of your interpretation of how they should be used from now on, at least not without consulting Mark Dilley first. [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 08:03, 12 June 2013 (PDT)Arcane | |||
::OK, but how do we keep track of what message we're replying to? Email engines have something like: | |||

::That would be quite good. Or can we make replies like putting them in italics? ----[[YiFei]] | <small>[[User talk:Zhuyifei1999|talk]]</small> 11:07, 13 June 2013 (UTC) 04:07, 13 June 2013 (PDT) | |||
