How to revise the policy pages: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:57, 13 April 2018

Monday, September 17, 2001, 5:08 PM -- I want to work through a few issues (perhaps relatively trivial issues) that are associated with revising the Wikipedia policy pages. This is something that I think would be valuable to do before the New York Times article appears--having a relatively clear, unified statement of policy seems like a good idea.

O

rule I'll have is that I will not try to represent Wikipedians as in agreement about something when they are not.

main goal in making these changes is to make it clearer and more user-friendly.  I will probably be removing a lot of the conversation that you can see in the present pages.

f you have any questions or comments about what I'm doing, or requests, or whatever, please use this page.

It comes out on the 20th or thereabouts. :-) --KQ

Where did all the proposed rules go, Larry? I take it you're not done yet and so I've just created edit conflicts on the other page? --KQ

They'll be added in the appropriate place, don't worry! :-) --LMS
