::::This proposal isn't mine, BTW. It was proposed by [[Felix]]. But in the interest of discussion, I thought it was worth commenting on. In practice, I long ago realized that this is ''not'' a policy of WikiIndex and have been acting accordingly.

::::You're right about editors applying their own rules to WikiIndex. It's a natural tendency for humans to create rules. In WikiIndex's case, many people have tried to apply [[English Wikipedia]]s rules to WikiIndex. However, it's important to remember that they are not the same thing. WikiIndex does not have a {{W|Wikipedia:NPOV|NPOV}} policy. Maybe it should, but it doesn't currently. Although, as Mark Dilley is not a fan of this policy, I don't see it being implemented here.

::::Speaking of Mark, I don't think he wants to be the ultimate arbiter of conflict or policy. However, he's been around here far longer than me, so I find him to be a good resource as to the original ethos of WikiIndex. --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 20:34, 16 October 2009 (EDT)

:I assent to this questions and like to add, that I see it as an attempt to build policy building policy more or less regardless how it was or was lacking in the past. Let's make a fresh start here! [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 20:01, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

::The experience of [[English Wikipedia]] shows that stuff proposed at the {{W|Wikipedia:Village pump|village pump}} very rarely gets accepted as policy. It's hard to build [[consensus]] in that way. It seems more effective and efficient to just use the [[BRD cycle]]. The [[god king]] method is even better in some ways, because it leaves no question about whether a proposal has been accepted or rejected by a large enough margin of [[user]]s. It all comes down to one guy saying "aye" or "no" and then that decides the matter conclusively, until someone changes his mind.

::: This Wiki does not even have a Village Pump. To compare it with Wikipedia seams to be of little or no use at all. We also got not [[God king]] (thanks for creating this page finally). We got no structure at all. Therefore we got to start rock bottom. It is amazing how much one or many can neglect to do within 8 years. I think the negligence is all more or less build on the clouded "envisioning" of [[Mark]] being a [[leader]] of this wiki. But actually we got only an domain [[owner]] and no leader at all. Therefore, attempts to clarify policy can easily blow this wiki. [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]] ([[User talk:Manorainjan|talk]]) 20:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
