User blog comment:BastionMonk/Talk pages/@comment-3148529-20110830232819

I just made a quick change-and-back to see if the content was restored, and it was. Comments also take up A LOT of space (see this page to gather what I mean).

In addition, I also believe that talk pages are better for more formal, organized discussions, wheras comments are more "social" additions. My point is that if a wiki is devoted to presenting information, talk pages are preferred. If a wiki is more devoted to just chatting about the subject, they use comments.
