:::Good spinning there Mr. panty and penis obsessed. You deleted the whole damn thing. Several editors caught on to your behavior and fixed your vandalism. So don't dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back. [[User:Orangemarlin|Orangemarlin]] 00:21, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Nothing was deleted. Can't you wrap your head around the concept of "moving"? –[[User:Fatalis|Fatalis]] 08:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
== Vandalism warning ==
Please don't accuse others of edits that are obviously not vandalism. According to Wikipedia's official policy "vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia.". Also "any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism."

:It was vandalism, plain and simple. A POV warrior removed tons of discussion, some of which needs to be referred to keep the POV crap away. How about your providing me with good faith that I think the deletion was a very bad idea. Thanks for the lecture buddy. [[User:Orangemarlin|Orangemarlin]] 23:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
::Per [[WP:VANDAL]] ("any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism."), I'm afraid you're wrong. The user asked on the IRC channel <tt>#wikipedia</tt> about how to archive a talk page as this was now sitting at 280 kB. When he found out, he went ahead and did. Whether or not you agree with the edit, that one caveat means that you were incorrect.

:::Oh, I apologize. I didn't know that the IRC channel was an appropriate way to discuss Wikipedia. Let me revert all my edits over the past few months, because I don't engage in discussions there. Now I know that the Talk pages are completely useless, and shouldn't be used for much. Thanks for the update.[[User:Orangemarlin|Orangemarlin]] 23:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Mate he didn't just cut and paste some some old expired threads into a new archive page, but moved the whole damn thing (ongoing discussions included), wiping out the history in the process. [[User:ConfuciusOrnis|ornis]] 23:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Moving a page does not mean anything gets "wiped", it's just changing the location. –[[User:Fatalis|Fatalis]] 00:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Actually the history does get wiped (or rather moved over to the new location). It's generally not a good idea to archive pages this way, since it obscures the entire history. Who's going to know that they have to go to Archive 12 to find the history? [[User:Silly rabbit|Silly rabbit]] 00:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Okay, I'll keep that in mind next time, but it still doesn't make it vandalism. –[[User:Fatalis|Fatalis]] 00:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::It was. I stand by the accusation. If you were attempting what you claim you were, you would have left a message for on the discussion, and you would have selectively archived. Doesn't matter now, you are on everyone's list now. And your rude comments to me on your Talk page, that will make you a hero I'm sure. [[User:Orangemarlin|Orangemarlin]] 00:20, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::::I doubt it, since there are probably at least some people who understand the policies. You're also under a faulty impression that I'm a "POV warrior". And I think I've said quite little to you, considering the circumstances. Someone else might have said much stronger words, having had an unstable dolt lashing out on them. –[[User:Fatalis|Fatalis]] 08:52, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
