:::I appologize if that appeared to be an "axe grind". I made my comments and questions as clear as I could. In contrast, declairing things "sensible" or "tripe", doesn't give us any reason to consider. Perhaps you ''were'' wrong, and maybe something you deleted wasn't tripe afterall? In the process of trying to argue a point or formulate a question, I often change my mind. I would think you should try that before making massive "corrections" to other people's work. On the other hand, maybe others find "long" arguments more annoying than deletions with trite explanations. Can't please everyone I guess. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 17:26, 7 October 2009 (EDT)

:We've apparently settled on a compromise. I reverted to the last version by [[Felix]] that links to [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies|this subpage in my userspace]]. I have now put the version that [[User:Huw Powell|Huw]] [[revert]]ed in that location, added some administrative quotes, changed many of my comments, and [[redirect]]ed the [[talk page]] back here. That page, including this talk page, should provide editors with a lot of information about the diverse views of administrators here. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 04:33, 23 June 2010 (EDT)

== Creating policy ==
What is the process for creating policy? Is there a [[god-king]] who can create it unilaterally? Are we supposed to [[be bold]] and create whatever policy we want, and see if anyone reverts it? Are we supposed to propose it at the community portal? Do we look to what sysops are able to actually do and get away with, and write policies describing that?
