Hi, Michele. Wondered what you think about culling inactive users. In trying to clean up the wiki, another user has been mass-editing user pages that contain dead links. Generally speaking, this is bad form. Having said that, however, there are LOTS of sandbox and similar pages in the User namespace with dead links, pages that haven't been edited in years owned by users who haven't been active here in years. ([[User:Peter888|Peter888]] is a great example.) Would you be willing and able to delete user accounts for those users not active since 2011 or even 2012? That should get rid of these unused and problematic User namespace pages. Thanks! <span style="border:2px ridge #aaf;background-color:#fff;padding:1px 8px;font:normal 10px Verdana,sans-serif;">[[User:Brossow|<span style="color:#358;">B.Rossow</span>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User_talk:Brossow|<span style="color:#35d;">talk</span>]]</span> 16:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Inactive user cull?

Hi, Michele. Wondered what you think about culling inactive users. In trying to clean up the wiki, another user has been mass-editing user pages that contain dead links. Generally speaking, this is bad form. Having said that, however, there are LOTS of sandbox and similar pages in the User namespace with dead links, pages that haven't been edited in years owned by users who haven't been active here in years. (Peter888 is a great example.) Would you be willing and able to delete user accounts for those users not active since 2011 or even 2012? That should get rid of these unused and problematic User namespace pages without establishing the precedent that editing other users' pages may be done routinely for our own convenience. Thanks!
