Help talk:Wiki etiquette

Main Page [9 September 2009]

[concerning edits to the section "be Generous about conflicting opinions"]

When I click on my Watchlist, then on "Main Page" (if there has been a recent change to that page), the "Main Page" reads, "Welcome to the World's Largest Genealogy Wiki." I'm sure that you didn't intend for these discussions to be posted there. --Dquass 00:49, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

That seems a little farfetched (there's no reason to click on your watch list in this scenario, or to think that we're talking about the homepage), but I've changed the language nonetheless.--Amelia 01:07, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

I am lost on this discussion. Help!!!!--Beth 01:14, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

Ok I have figured it out. Never mind.

Um... can I delete all the text above? I'm not sure what it has to do with Wiki etiquette, and I fear that its obtuseness will really confuse people-- new and old alike. It would be great if this Talk page focused on Wiki etiquette. jillaine 08:10, 9 September 2009 (EDT)

Well, Jillaine it is ok if you remove it. The conversation was regarding an edit made to the page.--Beth 08:29, 9 September 2009 (EDT)

Oh... A review of the history makes it clear to me now. Sheesh. I could NOT figure out what the heck you two were talking about. Now I get it. Never mind! ;-) jillaine 08:53, 9 September 2009 (EDT)

Living people [9 September 2009]

Hi Jillaine, future project of Dallan's is to remove all living pages. If this is still in the plans; then I would recommend that the user place information in the notes field on the family page. How would you phrase it? Living children of this couple are not listed or some such. --Beth 19:49, 9 September 2009 (EDT)
