Hi,
I have noticed that google also have in his index the "talk:something" namespace and "user:something", "User talk:something" on the English and the Dutch wikipedia. The others i do not know.
And it also haves in his index the MetaWikipedia.
I find that google should not index our internall affairs. Only the aricles, nothing else. And that the MetaWikipedia is not especialy for the general public. I should also not be in the index of google.
Am I alone about this ?
You're not alone. Much of what happens on talk pages is pretty "wild-west". I think that we all want to continue that as part of the process for arriving at consensus on NPOV for articles.
Perhaps one of our more technically minded Wikipedians can respond about the technical feasibility of keeping talk pages out of the Google index.
