message: I suggest that a Wiki Travelers/tourist guide is established, where local hibitants or anyone could add tips about sights, landmarks, museums, shopping etc.

message: Anon 217.194.129.100 has been adding links to game pages (e.g. Backgammon). The commercial intention is obvious, but I'm not sure there's anything bad in that. But these are not sites about the game per se, but themselves just lists of links. Is that linkspam or legit? Gadykozma 12:35, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Links to link farms are not permitted, so feel free to remove them. Incidentally, this question probably belongs on Wikipedia:Village pump and not its talk page. Ðåñηÿßôý | Talk 15:27, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: As a result of the page move vandalism earlier, the old history for Village pump is now at Wikipedia:Village pump archive 2004-09-26. Admins, if you time it just wrong, you can get a chance to use rollback. Don't use it. It doesn't roll back the page move. Instead it creates a new article at the page which was moved and that page needs to be deleted before the move can be reversed. Jamesday 16:55, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Old history 

message: Over the day I've added a new starting section (a table detailing each subsection) and coloured & slightly rearranged the divs at the start of each subpage.  This makes it look a lot better when scrolling the combined VP, imo, and each one of the {villagepumppages} templates are now shown.  What are people's opinions?  I was thinking each subpage could have it's own colour but don't really think that's particularly necessary. violet/riga (t) 19:36, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coloured titles and new introduction 

message: # Many discussions would be better placed on an articles Talk: page.  In this case, why not just have the discussion on the Talk: page and have a one line link to the Talk: page?  use the VP as a list of pointers to discussion (where appropriate, discussions can still take place here of course)
# Use templates per discussion and edit using section editing links, like the VfD page does now.

replies: text: The former should already by done when and where possible. I.E. make your announcement and direct people towards a relevant discussion page (if there isn't one there, start it with a duplicate of your VP notice). zoney ♣ talk 15:56, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two proposals for shortening VP 

message: The questions I asked in Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) (1, 2 and 3) didn't get any replies for 8 days. What should one do in such cases? Ask the question again once they're archived? Ask after a cooling-off period so as not to bore others? Forget that I ever asked such questions? Anything else?
