User:Example is an example user account made by CesarB for demonstration purposes. It has several legitimate subpages as a part of the demonstration, which are not nominated here. However, because this account is apparently not regularly inspected, it has picked up several pages of sandbox/test edits by other editors who apparently wanted these pages outside their own user space. None of these is presently needed for the purpose of writing an encyclopedia, and only two (noted above) are by currently active editors. There's no need to keep this content.

- Comment: my original intention was to have a user account which could be safely used in the same way one would use example.com (for instance, in a sample use of the {{vandal}} template, or a tutorial on how to block a user). Other than the single edit I made using it, it's meant to never be used by anyone, so it's safe for these purposes; other than me still having its password written down somewhere, I don't claim any ownership of that account, which is why I never cared about what was done to its pages. --cesarb 22:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
