Thank you all for the feedback:

@Omni - I understand the editing/removal of dead links etc; OCD is no joke. I've seen edits made to archives etc to remove the links and I didn't have a problem with that whatsoever.

With regards to the articles: I guess you could outline how you'd like him to archive article talkpages so he understands how to do it.

@Speysider- Please don't make this personal- you are inconsequential since any user can make an archive. I simply want to know if this is something we want you/others to be doing.

My main issue is users going in and archiving other user's talkpages:


 * Why is this necessary?
 * Are these talkpages being visited by readers?
 * You said it was for "wiki maintenance"; how? why?
 * How does it improve the wikia or else hinder it if not done?
 * Why do you have a list of unarchived talkpages in the first place?
 * Where can I find Narutopedia's talkpage policy?
 * Did you think of broaching the topic of archiving other user's talkpages with the rest of the community before doing so? This doesn't seem like something you should decide to do unilaterally.
 * Are they taking up too much of the near-infinite space we have available to us when left unarchived?
 * Is it driving cost for the space we rent here?

Yes talk and userpages belong to the community; nothing we do here is our own but talk and userpages are personal it doesn't matter whether the user hasn't been here forever long.

You still haven't given a valid reason for the action. I don't think anyone wants another user walking around archiving their talkpage...
