I therefore propose that this whole page be replaced with the words:  '''"The wiki admins will monitor the wiki and use their common sense to resolve issues.  Where there is a dispute it will be resolved between the active admins on the site.''' (Or alternatively a vote amongst the active users.) --[[User:Bob M|Bob M]] 14:16, 12 September 2009 (EDT)

:I beg to differ. At 4668 content pages and dozens of edits a day, WikiIndex is hardly small or inactive. Remember, Wikipedia is an outlier, completely off the scales when compared to anything else. That said, I agree we should rely on common sense more than rules. But rules are useful as general guidelines. Just to get everyone on the same page, you know (pun intended).

:How about if we just replace your section here with those words? I wouldn't do that, but you notice the irony? [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:53, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
:If you really think no one is going to read this page, why would you bother suggesting it be deleted? I think you are concerned about it giving me power. I'm paranoid however and have been wrong in the past. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:53, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
:I don't think we should delete the edit by Proxima and especially not the one's by Dilley. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:53, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
:I don't think we should delete things that point to other statements or actions made by the administration. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:53, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
:Phantom Hoover's edits are also at least as noteworthy as any of mine. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:53, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
:If you disagree with any of my policy proposals, I believe you have just as much a right (per Dilley's suggestions under "Notes to editors") to delete my proposals. You could also move them to the talk page. I would rather you add your own and debate them but this page is already long and someone is going to have to start moving things elsewhere anyway. It would be nice if someone else would do this for a change so y'all can go whine at them instead of me. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 15:53, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
:What you are suggesting is basically what they have been doing, before I arrived. DavidCary was working on a block policy proposal, but that was only on a talk page ;-). There have been conflicts that have escalated to uncomfortable proportions. At least two admins did not know what to expect of the bureaucrat, until push came to shove. Same thing happened again with Dilley's move of article to talk pages. There was no explanation of how we could have prevented that or why exactly that happened. Is that what you are asking for?
