 == Notes to editors of this page ==
-'''ANNOUNCEMENT: This is a proposal to adopt [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Npov Wikipedia's policy of a neutral point of view] for this page. Comments that do not seem to follow this policy shall be relocated to the talk page. Secondly, it is proposed that we do not post about any ''specific'' conflict that has been going on, but instead ''speak only in terms of generalizations''. And that we also move any of those comments that are already here, to the talk page.''' That we do this by ''translating'' these comment into a generalization, which will remain where the comment was, while the comment is relocated to the talk page.
+===Comments must abide a neutral point of view===
+'''ANNOUNCEMENT: This is a proposal to adopt [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Npov Wikipedia's policy of a neutral point of view] for this page. Comments that do not seem to follow this policy shall be deleted or relocated (to a talk page). Secondly, it is proposed that we do not post about any ''specific'' conflict that has been going on, but instead ''speak only in terms of generalizations''. And that we move any of those comments that are already here, to a talk page (eventually), or delete them.''' Any such comments that are relevant to policy should be ''paraphrased into generalizations'', which will remain where the comment was, while the comment is relocated to a talk page or deleted.
+For example, someone posts this comment here, "I've been harassed by people from AboWiki. We should not allow this." This would be removed and a request would be placed on the commenter's talk page to propose that a specifically defined offense, be handled in a specific manner. So the proper way to propose a policy in this case would say: "I propose we do not allow editors to continue posting unanswered replies to a user's talk page. That we enforce this policy by first warning, then blocking the editor.<your signature>"
+Please inquire on the [[WikiIndex_talk:Policies_and_Guidelines|talk page]] if you are unsure how to write "neutrally" as it is defined here.
+Both this page and its talk page are '''for policy discussion''' only. If you have a specific grievance, you would like to resolve, follow the instructions on this guide, or see if the [[Guidelines Category]] has more clues, on what you can do to have your issue resolved.
