Why did you remove the Request_for_deletion template on the check_earlytalker page? AFAIK it is obsolete and should be deleted according to http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,46234.msg226418.html#msg226418 - <small>— [[User:Cactus|Cactus]] ([[User talk:Cactus|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Cactus|contribs]]) </small> 07:05, 16 February 2012 (MST)

Here's my understanding of the Request_for_deletion addition to this page:
1) Piran posted a link to this page in a thread with the text "Install the check_earlytalker plugin":
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,46229.msg226377.html#msg226377
2) Charlie noticed Piran's post, and assumed the wiki page described how to install check_earlytalker, so he made his post that the page is obsolete:
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,46234.msg226418.html#msg226418
3) The page was updated with the 'Request_for_deletion' template
4) I added the reasoning to the 'talk' page outlining why the page is NOT obsolete (see below)
5) Over a year later, I removed the 'Request_for_deletion' template, assuming everyone had read and agreed with the reasoning I outlined on the 'talk' page.
Copied from http://wiki.contribs.org/Talk:Qpsmtpd_check_earlytalker -
Unless there is more information elsewhere, I don't feel that this page is obsolete.
Despite the language used by piran in his mention of this page at http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,46229.msg226377.html#msg226377, this page is not about adding check_earlytalker - which is included by default as mentioned by Charlie in the forum post referenced above.
This page is about:
Documenting the functionality of check_earlytalker (what it does and why it does it)
Documenting how to change the timeout value applied by check_earlytalker
Documenting how to monitor check_earlytalker to see if it is being used to deny email
