This is an interesting idea, but all too few editors even follow the existing practice... not sure that this would help. -- Visviva 01:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
OK. Perhaps this would most wisely tagged as {{ essay}}, then? :-) -- Visviva 03:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
One advantage of the proposed method is that an edit link is available for each individual dialogue. Instead of editing an entire section of the talk page (which can get very large), one can easily edit only the relevant dialogue. If discussions are split up into distinct and exact dialogues, there would likely not be more than 3 or 4 participants in each, so the indenting wouldn't get too out of hand. Responding to a comment that already has responses could be very difficult, though, as ais523 pointed out. — Purple RAIN 20:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
In the version current June 4 2014 George is replying to Bob (not Lisa). Therefore, his comments should be indented to the same degree as Lisa's. The current version makes it look like he's replying to Lisa. NewsAndEventsGuy ( talk) 11:57, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
