Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Electromagnetic radiation and health, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Verbal chat 20:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

The usual procedure for that sort of thing is to request that a thread be moved elsewhere if it is active, possibly including the off-topic conversation in {{collapsetop}}, or to move the thread to the archive if it is stale. Although that thread veered away from productivity pretty sharply, the first reply was pretty on topic, as EHS relates to that article. Basically, it is usually best to leave the talk page comments alone except in cases of utter nonsense, current disruption, or potentially defamatory statements regarding living persons. - 2/0 (cont.) 16:39, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
