::::"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.

::::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? Best regards, [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 17:06, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

:::::*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)

: Dear WikiIndex editors,
: Dear WikiIndex editors,
: Huw Powell's suggestion to ''"find areas that people agree on"'' and ''"used a draft version in the project page"'' sounds like a good idea. So I moved discussion from the main page to the talk page at [[WikiIndex:Blocking Policy]] ( [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex%3ABlocking_Policy&diff=68678&oldid=67723] ).

: Should we do the same "move discussion to talk page" with this [[WikiIndex:Policies and Guidelines]] page? Should we merge [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies]] into this talk page also? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 09:41, 25 September 2009 (EDT)

::Parts of [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex (unwritten) policies]] might work for this talk page but I mixed policy proposals with observations of the administration and editors. I'm gonna separate all that. I'm really confused as to what policies are currently in force and what role I am being permitted or invited, to play here. I'm attempting to minimize drawing attention to myself, by editing for WikiIndex off-site, and so that I can post things after I have had more time to develop them. Then I will post the policy proposals as subpages of this talk page. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 18:36, 25 September 2009 (EDT)
