'''ANNOUNCEMENT: This is a proposal to adopt | '''ANNOUNCEMENT: This is a proposal to adopt "neutrality" 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>" | For example, someone posts this comment here, "I've been harassed by people from AboWiki.

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 [[:Category:Guidelines]] has more clues, on what you can do to have your issue resolved. | Both this page and its talk page are '''for policy discussion''' only.

Note that I have edited the above so it no longer "says" that I am proposing Wikipedia's NPOV although I added other things and that wasn't what I intended to mean because I don't know Wikipedia's policy really.] | |||
::Whoa, the Man has arrived. The question is, what would be a better thing? I've listed some other options [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#How_sympathetic_or_critical.3F_.28Who_decides.3F.29|here]]. I don't see how we would have a sympathetic POV for this page, unless maybe it is "sympathetic" to "WikiIndex" but I'm not sure what that would mean.
