Yes I agree. The question concerns how often the talk page is more suited than just adjusting the comments, in the case of most old tips. I looked through 'candidates for deletion' recently and saw that ipkiss has put a couple of tips in there. On at least one tip that I noticed, he had put a rationale at the top of Comments. I think that's an excellent strategy. It's easier for the person recommending the page for deletion, and it's easier for people to review. Similarly, in tip 1 I have put a comment 'TODO: merge with tip 5' (and vice versa in tip 5). Ipkiss has recently pointed out that I should have a Duplicate template to handle that ... I'll probably do that within a week. But just putting the comment where everyone can see it makes sense to me. > When the comment expressed an opinion ...

My problem with that is the time and effort required for very marginal benefit. As soon as you think, well perhaps I should keep that comment, you find it very hard to justify deleting any other comment. And what is the reward for the effort? You get a bunch of (usually) obsolete material clogging the talk page. Remember that the original comments will be preserved on vim.org, and we have a link to the original tip.
