::The reason I say it's "nowhere near long enough" is from a sensibility standpoint.  But my point is why, more than two years after joining, it's required that the welcome message still be left on the page.  That's the part that boggles me.  After two years, if someone's still editing, they probably don't need the welcome template anymore.  [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 20:21, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

:::It pretty much says it on the page... It just seems to be a part of the "don't remove ''anything'' (valid)" policy. Your problem is demonstrably a solvable one, so it's not like this policy needs any rethinking just for that.
