Archive help
Hey Randomnamehere, a couple things for when you are archiving your talk page. Firstly, for obvious reasons, don't archive active discussions. Secondly, you still need a main talk page, so this one shouldn't be deleted. Instead, I'd suggest creating a link to the archive at the top of the page. Hope it helps! 18:55, 7 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I believe the previous discussion is no longer active, can I delete it? 18:56, 7 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Up to you, but I'd suggest waiting a day to make sure Perfectionist doesn't have anything else to add. 18:59, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

You are not staff
Do not make staff decisions if you are not staff. If you had a concern about potential personal information, per the policy itself you should have contacted an administrator or bureaucrat about the issue—not handle it directly. That is our call to make, not yours. Please do not do so again. Trig - 03:08, 12 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Okay, noted. But can I debate about whether the info in question was personal or not? 03:13, 12 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I mean, you can, but you'll be wrong. Naming what US State you live in is not personal information, and it would be assuredly impossible to locate or identify a user from a broad area of nearly 6 million people. There are editors here from countries with smaller populations. It's non-descript enough area that it can give a general idea of where one resides comfortably without being identifiable.
