:Parts of it may be appropriate at MeatballWiki, but much of it is specific to this wiki and its editors and administration. I'm responding to some conflicts amongst the administration and editors here. I've gotten some support from Proxima both here and on my talk page, and no objections thus far. Again, I apologize for my embarrassing blunders on your talk page. I'm usually not ''that'' absent minded.

:Do you know if the owners of this wiki favor a consensus approach to resolving conflicts or developing policy? By that I mean involving and inviting the community of administrators, editors, and readers to collaborate to develop policy, etc? I think that fact would illuminate a description of the policy to a great degree. It would also save me a lot of time trying to derive consensus if this won't be allowed anyway.

:As far as keeping it simple. Well, do you want me to just make up some rules? :-) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 09:54, 3 September 2009 (EDT) | :As far as keeping it simple. Well, do you want me to just make up some rules? :-) [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 09:54, 3 September 2009 (EDT) | ||
::I put a notice at the top saying, "'''For a few simple guidelines, see [[WikiIndex:Guidelines]]. For other guidelines, see [[:Category:Guidelines]].'''" There is not much there however. People get fairly heated with this stuff and I think there is a need to address issues of how to properly go about attempting to "force" one's will, when people don't agree. So I see policy solely as a means to resolving conflicts.

::I don't mind if you want (me) to move some or all of it, but one problem is that it would give me some work to do because I may fix all the "interwiki" [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines|links I created, to it]]. (I've created links to specific sections in it.) I do that to divert people's aggression, into a constructive means of building consensus. So when a squabble breaks out, I send someone the link and I say, here Genius, you know how everyone should act make up some rules for us. :-) Which they usually don't do, but thus far I've been pleased with the progress of one wiki article. Someone who was protective of the wiki, agreed to a criticism section and they actually posted it themselves. They also have been alowing a link to a sort of "rival wiki" which you probably are aware. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 10:07, 3 September 2009 (EDT) | |||
