| - I have noticed several times that some users remove other users from this list. I can see the implication is that "this user is no longer active or seemingly will never be, so there's no need to keep them on the list," but I feel a bit annoyed by this. Is it necessary? Is it critical to remove them? Is it harmful to leave them there? What if they eventually come back? I'm pretty certain that checking if their name is still on the list is at the bottom of their to-do list; but still, what do you feel if someone removes your name from the entry without your consent? Nikel Talk – Vote! 04:15, October 22, 2014 (UTC) I see the point, but at the same time I agree with your viewpoint here. I feel it's not an essential task, but it also is harmless to remove names of long-absent users since they're unlikely to notice that their names have been removed. So, I'm neutral on this. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 04:28, October 22, 2014 (UTC) Just so you know, the only reason I removed Asher's name from the list is because her account was globally disabled by user choice, or by wikia. It seemed pointless to keep the name of a user who is unlikely to return on the birthdays list. While it isn't an essential task, and it isn't something I'd do on a regular basis, I removed Asher's name from the list in-case an inexperienced user decided to wish her a happy birthday whilst ignoring the "retired" template. I would not have removed her name from the list, had her account not been globally disabled. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 04:44, October 22, 2014 (UTC) I understand the reason behind why you removed Ash's name, and it makes sense. I personally think we should keep things as they are. Also, I didn't mean to point out this matter indirectly to you because you were the last one to remove someone there. Some others also removed names from the list, not just you. I just felt like bringing up this topic now. Nikel Talk – Vote! 05:32, October 22, 2014 (UTC) I know. I was just making sure my reasoning was understood. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 05:35, October 22, 2014 (UTC) We are supposed to remove the names of inactive users. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 05:36, October 22, 2014 (UTC) A lot of names here are inactive users anyway. Some are just one-time users, while some others are formerly regular users. Only a few will actually remain, and even though some people like WH are inactive, I don't feel like removing them. Nikel Talk – Vote! 05:45, October 22, 2014 (UTC) By inactive, I mean those who have not edited within the past 6 months. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 03:58, October 23, 2014 (UTC)
