: Huw Powell's suggestion to ''"find areas that people agree on"'' and ''"used a draft version in the project page"'' sounds like a good idea. So I moved discussion from the main page to the talk page at [[WikiIndex:Blocking Policy]] ( [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex%3ABlocking_Policy&diff=68678&oldid=67723] ). | : Huw Powell's suggestion to ''"find areas that people agree on"'' and ''"used a draft version in the project page"'' sounds like a good idea.

::Parts of [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies]] might work for this talk page but I mixed policy proposals with observations of the administration and editors. I'm gonna separate all that. I'm really confused as to what policies are currently in force and what role I am being permitted or invited, to play here. I'm attempting to minimize drawing attention to myself, by editing for WikiIndex off-site, and so that I can post things after I have had more time to develop them. Then I will post the policy proposals as subpages of this talk page. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 18:36, 25 September 2009 (EDT) | |||
::The other part of this is ''observations of WikiIndex''. These are to help new editors know what is permissible or preferable here, by both editors and administrators. This is the "unwritten policy", so to speak. I will post these as subpages of my user page, if that is okay. That way I will only take up a section here, which will have links to the subpages. Maybe once a week or once a month (depending on my activity) I will merge the latest versions of these subpages with my own edits. This is to minimize "edit spamming" of Recent Changes.

::If anyone agrees with these proposals we could move them out to this talk page and I might directly ask some of the more involved admins (Felix, DavidCary, and Proxima if she still works here) for their votes, comments, or changes. If at least one of them agrees with a proposal and there are no objections, move them out to policy page with the names of all those editors and administrators, who support the policy. Put a history link to the exact version they signed, so the policy can still be changed without misrepresenting them. If we get a number of these, then I might ask the other administrators to vote, comment, or change these policies. This would probably take a number of months, if there is any interest.

::These "policy negotiations" may serve only as an agreement between myself and anyone I am having a conflict with. Or my proposals might not garner much interest. That is not a failure as far as I am concerned; I enjoy doing it just for the mental exercise and to understand wiki policy, morality, law, etc. I probably shouldn't go into my grandiose views on the potential of wikis, as I'm sure y'all think I am an obsessed nutjob, without me adding more fuel to the fire.
