Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:IPod, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ... richi (hello) 22:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Richi,
Thanks for the welcome!
- "However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion"
Okay. I know I'm new here but I didn't do it "just because". I did read a bit before I deleted.
At the top of the discussion page, it states; "This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the IPod article." and "This is not a forum for general discussion about the article's subject."
I deleted, "Geez ipod nano and video and classic have all been good for people i know so if you are thinking of getting one i would highly recommend.", so I'm curious as to how this fits with the article?
Also, you edited some of my comments in Talk;iPod. You didn't change the meaning (much), but Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines states;
Editing comments
wat they mean by ipod classic is that the model has been around since 2001 mickman1234 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickman1234 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 8 July 2008 (UTC) [edit] Others' comments "It is not necessary to bring talk pages to publishing standards, so there is no need to correct typing errors, grammar, etc. It tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting.

Editing others' comments is sometimes allowed, but you should exercise caution in doing so"
My comments were directly related to the article and they get deleted?
Why?

- It was not my intention to revert your changes to your comments, only to undo what appeared to be a refactoring of another editor's comments. I somehow missed the fact that your edit incorporated both your text and the refactoring. I suspect it's this bug in the popups extension that sometimes causes diffs to display incorrectly. Very sorry: I've reverted my revert ... richi (hello) 15:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
