Yes, some policy similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Civility is expected. I probably should have included it on my short list. However, I have faith that any Wikipedia will, through experience, learn that such a policy is required and adapt it. I think that is healthy, to develop policies as you learn from experience. They mean more. For example, when the aggrieved subjects of articles start leaning on you, you will adopt something similar to Biographies of living persons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons Fred Bauder _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
