WikiIndex talk:Editing etiquette

• Avoid deleting other people's work

Even when that "work" is just plain wrong?

• If you must delete and something you deleted reappears, do not delete it a second time. Use strikethrough and work it out with the other person, if needed using the discussion tab (every page has one) or the persons discussion tab (which everyone has)

Strikethroughs have no place in an article. Nx 08:04, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

Contrary to popular opinion, having your work deleted or rewritten is to be expected on wikis. It sucks, and if you can't accept that, I suggest you try a different format (e.g. a blog). Nx 08:14, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

Main authors of this "guideline"

I neglecting to mention in the page history, that I moved this page, and all but my "suggestion" at the top, was the work of these two:

1. (cur) (last) 20:10, 16 December 2008 Kardan (Talk | contribs) m (522 bytes) (Category: WikiIndex)
2. (cur) (last) 04:35, 12 March 2007 TedErnst (Talk | contribs) (New page: * Avoid deleting other people's work * If you must delete and something you deleted reappears, do not delete it a second time. Use strikethrough and work it out with the other person, if n...)

Actually it was all written by bureaucrat TedErnst. Kardan only added a category. Ted has only one post in 2008 and one post in March 2009, if his user history is accurate. Lumenos 01:37, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

Proposal to delete all TedErnst's contributions

I believe this "guideline" does not reflect current consensus of the administration or editors. I move that all but my message at the top, be blanked. Lumenos 01:39, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

Secondly, I move that we relocate this information to this talk page, and use it for reference. Lumenos 01:39, 3 September 2009 (EDT)
