Talk:Gypsy-Rose Blanchard

It's not a big deal, and consensus might've changed, but years ago, I think it was considered Polite(tm) to start a discussion before setting up auto-archiving, as you did here. I think some of that was so a decision could be made on how often to archive. Even if consensus hasn't changed, if no drama happens, no harm, no foul.

Admittedly, one reason I'm even bringing this up at all is because Blanchard is such a controversial figure. I might've been less inclined to leave a message if things were less...active, for lack of a better word. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 04:16, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for commenting. It has been my past experience that starting a discussion about archiving usually draws either crickets or a "meh, whatever" type of response. So, I've applied the adage of "it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission" where archiving is concerned, and have rarely encountered a challenge or objection. That being said, your suggestion that controversial subjects might warrant greater consideration than "common" subjects is a valid one, and duly noted. A.

Yeah, it's just a "Meh, whatever" sort of thing that you might've received a similar response on Blanchards' talk page. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 10:27, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
