User talk:62.195.115.51

User registered an account and wished to start with a clean slate Syrthiss 03:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Question: If the user (don't say who) registered an account, how are we going to know his IP? After all, the discussions on his user talk page are much more important, and nobody can determine the said user's IP unless they run a CheckUser on him, which is reserved for ArbCom.

Heh I was wondering that myself. I was hoping it wasn't a hard thing to checkuser. :/ I'm not sure there is any history there other than me and the user themselves, if that makes a difference (they only contributed some minor stuff today that was reverted and the talk page was me giving them warnings). I suppose I could email the user and have them logout and request it, but I'm not sure that isn't just as cumbersome. --Syrthiss 03:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't see why we should just because he wants us to. --Merovingian 03:09, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think he feels he got off on the wrong foot from inexperience and doesn't want that to taint him (not that I feel it would in any case). --Syrthiss 03:14, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Well, does anybody care? If he's a legit editor, nobody (except Scrooge) might hold it against him. --Merovingian 03:18, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It seems a bit unnecessary to delete this page, especially since the registered user won't be linked to it. If we delete this IP's talk page, it might set a bad precedent. While I see nothing but good faith in this request, I don't see much harm from the page existing and I'm reluctant to start down a slippery slope. What about just blanking the talk page?

That's a good idea. The history might still be somewhat helpful. --Merovingian 03:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm certainly willing to do that instead, especially now that I know the limitations on checkuser per above. --Syrthiss 03:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Sounds good then. I'd suggest closing this as a "speedy keep" with a note that the page was blanked (unless the user really wants the page deleted for some reason). Carbonite | Talk 03:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm hopeful that if I explain the discussion they'll be fine with it. --Syrthiss 03:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Made a note so if they check they have some explanation, but didnt blank because I didnt want to remove the {{tl:md}} until this was closed. Thanks for discussing this with me. --Syrthiss 03:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep no reason to hide it but possibly black the talk page.--MONGO 06:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
