::::"maybe no one cares what ''you'' want" I'm looking for where I said that, was it the edit comment? Yeah, sorry, that Lummykin guy gets on my tits with his often incomprehensible approach. | ::::"maybe no one cares what ''you'' want" I'm looking for where I said that, was it the edit comment?

::::I guess part of the "disaster/mess" comment is a result of my being involved in working out policy pages on their respective talk pages on a wiki that is more active than this one. We used a draft version in the project page, and headers in the talk page that made it clear what was being discussed in each section, and it worked well, and left a clear record behind of how the project page came to say what it says. I guess you guys are just used to working in a way that seems very foreign to me. Where might I find more information about this mode of working? Oh, and where is this "original wiki" I keep reading about?

:::::Is there something stopping you from going to [[WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy|an official policy discussion page]] and doing what you suggest? Or is mine just a bit '''too interesting for Huw to resist''' ;-)?

:::::What I find lacking in say, Wikipedia's policies: | |||
:::::*No reliable sources, for their claims. It's a policy about what some powerful editors would ''like'' "the policy" to be. Doesn't necessarily reflect how the machine actually functions. Which brings me to my next point. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:03, 12 September 2009 (EDT) | |||
:::::*Failure to distinguish between stated "policy" and the actual behavior of the administration or editors. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:03, 12 September 2009 (EDT) | |||
:::This page is mostly not my recommendations on policy. It is an outline of issues that have been sources of conflict here. There are many links and quotes to what I have found the administration saying or doing. You can post your "policy recommendations" in talk pages, if you wish. I would think you might have better luck posting them on this "policy article", but, then again, when you do that, it makes it look like more of a legitimate collaborative project, doesn't it? It is understandable that this would be a fear of yours, given my interest [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#How_sympathetic_or_critical.3F_.28Who_decides.3F.29|creating criticism pages for controversial wikis]].
