- User:Robertinventor/deleted sections from Manned mission to Mars ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This content by title is literally a userspace copy of deleted, preferred content from Human mission to Mars. We shouldn't have old copies of deleted, disputed content. Ricky81682 ( talk) 08:37, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- Why is that? I'm not aware of any ruling on this, but from previous experience I know how easy it is to violate policies one is unaware of. It is not preserved with any idea of putting it back into the article. It is just included in case some of the material in it is of use to anyone later. The dispute was long ago and nobody has objected before.
- If it needs to be deleted, it is no big deal, I can save it to my own computer instead. It is just more convenient in my user space that's all. I assume it is excluded from searches? If there is some reason it has to be deleted, please explain in a bit more detail so I can understand better both now and in the future. Thanks! Robert Walker ( talk) 13:02, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, forget that, I have now found the guidelines Wikipedia:User_pages#Copies_of_other_pages. I wasn't aware of this guideline. Please give me a day or two to organize my user space. There probably is more material like this also. Don't bother marking them all, I'll deal with it myself, back them up and mark them for deletion. Thanks!

- Got caught up with other things. Is there a deadline at all? Easy enough to remove this one, but I have lots to do. I'll see if I can find time to do it tomorrow. Robert Walker ( talk) 01:25, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- I've deleted all the ones you marked. Actually the main reason I keep them is for the citations. I might put them back up just as a list of citations - i.e. remove everything except the ref tags and a few words about each one, for use in other articles where relevant. Presumably that would be okay as it wouldn't look like an article. I can deal with the others similarly. But will take a while. Robert Walker ( talk) 12:39, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- Robert Walker, you can always link to the prior version that had the citations in a sandbox or sorts. I have no particular objection, if there's a page that you need some more time to find the old version, I can withdraw it but thanks for having these deleted. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 04:22, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
