Wikipedia talk:Keep off my talk page!

Cool

Glad to see someone's created this. What I'd like to see a section on is the validity of such requests/demands, and when another party violating them becomes sanctionable. As my post over at ANI suggested, I'm not too keen on these demands being enforceable in most cases: I'm of the opinion that they're a new object of abuse by intolerant editors in order to keep people from effectively working with them. But... I get the feeling a lot of the... wikiprudence, shall we say... of these demands just hasn't been worked out yet. So it might be more appropriate to make a note that these are fairly new developments, and the practice does not appear to have settled.

I guess in that vein, what else would be nice is some discussion of how to work with editors who have made these demands of you. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 04:40, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Completely agree. I had a bad experience in this regard about six months ago, and I've since noticed a few other instances of other problematic editors doing this when people try to remonstrate with them and then "whitewashing" their talk pages. It is of course, as the article points out, an immediate litmus test of incivility and self-importance, but there probably ought to be a bit more discussion about whether it is permissible. As it says, it ain't your talk page, it's a page Wikipedia lets you use so that others can communicate with you.Paulturtle (talk) 00:39, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
