Friendly note regarding talk page messages   Hello  As a recent editor to  I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WPUSER editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages  While we may prefer that comments be archived instead policy does not prohibit users including anonymous editors like this one from deleting messages from their own talk pages  The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed as per WPBLANKING are declined unblock requests but only while blocks are still in effect confirmed sockpuppet notices or IP header templates for unregistered editors  These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system  Thanks
