message: I have a disclaimer on my user talk page of what I will keep in regards to comments; and its outline what I will keep and get rid of. Even within that disclaimer I provide a link of where I stand on certain issues so I do not have to deal with the petty arguements and accusations. 
Is there a specific rule against this. Do note every comment I receive, I do give a reply but I do not find it necessary to keep all comments for every user.  I will like to hear your comments and idea. Sincerely Paul.Paquette 22:15, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Should new sections/topics on a talk page be added to the top or the bottom of a talk page? Is there a guideline/rule? I've seen talk pages where stuff gets added on the top, the bottom, the middle... anyone know? Gront 04:06, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello all!
I have started writing a french version of one of my favourite articles, over on Wikipedia France. How do I add the link for it to the "in other languages" tab on the English site, and vice versa?
also, does anyone else think it would be good to consolidate membership across sites, ie, when you contribute to say, the German site, you can access your edits from the UK version of "my contributions"?
Good morning. :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sugarlily (talk • contribs) 
:Interwiki links are pretty simple. For example, the bridge article has fr:pont (ouvrage d'art) at the bottom of the article content. This does not appear in the article itself, but rather in the sidebar. If you want to link directly to the article on the other wiki like this, you would put a colon first: :fr:pont (ouvrage d'art).
:Consolidation wouldn't work at this point, because there are many users with the same name on different wikis. However, I have signed up for the same name on commons and fr. It may interest you to see how I've structured my user  and talk  pages. Note that I've added interwiki links to my user pages, and use  among my userboxes on en.
:Also, please remember to sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~). --INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 04:44, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm confused over this section:
* Or: Put a notice on your user talk page that you will reply there unless they ask otherwise.  Do this for conversations that other people start.
*Watchlist the other person's user talk page and tell them they can reply there.  Do this for conversations you start.
Does "Put a notice on your user talk page that you will reply there" refer to my user page or the other person's talk page who started the conversation? I only ask because I want to keep discussions I make constant and not broken up, but different people use different systems and it confuses me, so I would prefer to use the guidance here, but it confuses me.  --tgheretford (talk) 23:01, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
