[edit] Removing stuff from your talk page
Please don't blank your own talk page, it's considered bad etiquette. Messages are placed here for your attention, and it can be very useful for others to see these too. For instance, the welcome message above and the date stamp in it tell others that you've been welcomed recently, and that you have the welcome there to show you where to go. If you had any warnings placed on your page, it helps others to know that you have been warned about a certain thing before. Removing warnings (as opposed to just notices and miscellaneous messages) from your talk page is considered by many to be vandalism. Trust me, the resources I've given you in the 'Welcome!' section above are VERY useful - I wish I'd had them when I signed up.
If your talk page feels like it's getting too long or cluttered, the established way to shorten it is by archiving your talk page, specifically the Moving method. This also means that you have an archived history of messages in case you need to refer back to them at some point. Anyway, thanks for reading this long message, and hope to see you around some time. Oh, and well done on the Stargate related edits - you've enhanced a lot of SG-related articles. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 09:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
