5-6 day limit, I think Super's comments (if you re-read them) simply suggest 5-6 days as a reasonable standard--he says "please" after all, not "you must". Perhaps a note should be added to this page. The rationale for his comment, which I hope you can understand, is that this policy page is often used in settling disputes. The most minor changes to the document may seriously influence people, since they come here and read the document, and assume what they read is policy. As a result, it's just standard wikipractice that, any time you want to edit or alter a page that is officially policy, the proposal goes to the talk page until you can get a few folks agreeing to it, and nobody disagreeing (in other words, consensus). Maybe that should be made more clear here. Honestly, it's a good habit to get into for editing any established page--usually, if I want to make a significant change to an article that is very stable (say a featured article), I do the same thing...posting the change to the talk page and inviting comment. It can be frustratingly slow, but it ensures that consensus prevails, and it avoids edit wars and hurt feelings pretty effectively. Thanks for the suggestion here--I really think you and Super have refined your idea into a solid addition to the page.
6696:. At any rate, when such things occur, I have no problem with excluding them. However, it seems that the level of notability which is required in order to filter out vanity, useless trivia, etc. is often used to filter out subjects which are arguably notable (not vanity, not trivia) but only of importance to a particular region or subculture. (WP:MUSIC is a good example; it practically demands that a band be nationally noticed before being deemed "notable"; I can think of many well-established, well-known regional acts that wouldn't qualify for inclusion under WP:MUSIC. Maybe I should go take it up there). I'd like to find ways of lowering the bar, to include more regional/alternative material, while still finding ways to keep out the true rubbish. And my bias is to err on the side of inclusion. -- 1189:
looking for. This is more a problem of organisation, rather than content. Myself, I looked at HP articles after reading the books, because I wanted to see what i had missed. I was rather startled to see the amount of long description deletion which has been going on. As with any article, the amount of input is likely to be proportionate to the amount of interest. Why is there still a debate about too much content on a non-paper encyclopedia? I would agree, a short jacket type introduction might be appropriate at the start of an article, but this is inadequate and needs an accompanying longer description, of a length which would make it a reasonable article by itself. I checked wikibooks, their own policies officially preclude hosting simple long plot summaries.

uninitiated. As said before, that should involve the most accessible lead section the subject allows and the minimum use of unexplained jargon. Sure, we could add another section to this policy page to make that even more clear (even though it is in many guideline and style pages), but you have to reallize, every time we expand policy pages and add new ones, there is a cost to the rest. Ever expanding policy is just harder and harder to use. So instead of adding a section, how could this be integrated into the guidelines to make them all easier to undertand? That would be the ideal solution to your aim and accomplish it not only for articles, but also for the guideline and policy pages. -

information" may be blurry, but there are some real standards that can be easily teased out from common sense and editing effort. After these standards are determined, the editors who have worked hard to do this should have an explicit reference to the rules... citing the policy on speculation, NPoV, and others frequently isn't enough. Stating explicitly in the rules that "Knowledge is not a fan site" would be a great assistance, because most people with familiarity with the Internet have probably seen a fansite, and know how it is different than an encyclopedia. The problem this proposal aims to fix, while directed initially at our never-ending battle over at the

spent time writing articles (about cars, Lego and computers mostly) and getting one of them all the way from being a stub to being the front page featured article, I've come to understand why my earlier view is wrong - and that Knowledge's scope must be artificially limited to some extent. The reason is that there are only a finite number of people who are able to contribute to things like Good Article review, Peer Review and Featured Article candidacy. If a large proportion of perfectly well written, illustrated and fact-checked articles are about matters so trivial, then the number of reviewers per article for each of those stages in an article's progress to
567:. There was discussion here, and several people where either 1) totally opposed to deletion or 2) would favor keeping recipe of significant recipe from a cultural point of view. I agree there were also a couple of people favoring plain removal, but actually, in the page, they were a minority. While I agree some recipes were listed on vfd and consequently moved to wikibooks, you also forget all the cultural recipes on which there was no discussion whatsoever, but that you moved in all cases. Of course, since there was no discussion but just a removal of content, there is no link to show on vfd for all those articles. 8834:
the USGS's call on what 10% of all flood-related information I need to know more than I trust yours. Does that mean I trust it to be infallible? No, and I may well disagree with its reccomendation of what <10% of all information about floods in the United States a general encyclopedia needs to include - especially if it reccomends an amount of information that starts creeping upwards. An encyclopedia's not supposed to contain the information people care about, it's supposed to contain the information they need to be able to start specialist research about something they don't care about.

the rhetorical wishes of deletionists, who have too much control over this page. I see no justification for it at all. It does not reflect practice on articles for deletion, where it fails so often. It is needlessly confrontational. It is not npov. Its use seriously misleads new voters on articles for deletion, who think that it means that articles about future events are not legitimate, when it has been agreed that they are acceptable in vote after vote. Finally, it doesn't even work. Please accept that this page should reflect actual practice, not what deletionists would like to be practice.
2472:; I'm somewhat at a loss for what to say on top of that to make that position clearer. Our primary purpose is to build an encyclopedia. We are a collection of people who all have the nerve to think that we are qualified to do this, and have the intelligence to have our own ideas as to how this should be done. If we take differing positions it's probably with reasoning behind it that deserves to be examined and weighed rather than summarised in one word as "support" or "oppose" for weighing and discussion to take place, and thus I believe voting has no place on Knowledge. 4133:
considered offensive because I have said it is very much open to interpretation. I would like a better understanding of this. But to begin with, certainly pictures of genitalia is one that many agree is inappropriate even in the West. So in the end, we have categories of these pictures and categories of those pictures. Mirrors and forks then do have an easier choice to not include which ever categories they want to. Perhaps an article in the Knowledge namespace can list those categories that are considered offensive for each denomination as a guide. --
1025:. If you didn't already know what it was do you think that could be explained much better? The best that can be done is to give an approachable lead section, and try to give as much context as possible for technical terms. The only facet of an academic paper we should avoid, is not covering the background material anywhere, and assuming the reader understands all the jargon. If that's all you're saying for "is not an academic text", I'm ok with it, but the guidelines already say that. - 31: 3284:-- in some cultures, it may be just fine for minors to see pictures of anatomy, they wouldn't expect this to be censored; in others, merely a picture with people in scant clothing, any appearance of distasteful language (even in say a quote, or article about the word), profanity would expected to be censored -- to respect other cultures, Knowledge might even have to suppress certain political ideas and imagery as well as violent, gory ideas, sexual ideas, etc. By trying to or 7122:
do. As I said, this section is a pov tool created for use by deletionists and does not reflect practice on articles for deletion. They must hope that newcomers will be influenced by the "colour" and not read the policy to find out that the detail is far less supportive of hard-line deletionism, or look around Knowledge and discover that a hard-line is not actually taken. In my opinion the phrase is misleading about both policy and practice, and deletionists exploit that.
1658:—who renders an opinion on that action. If this were the case, much fewer articles would be deleted from Knowledge and much fewer editors would see their candidacies for adminship succeed. Well, that is not the case here. It is very clear to me that procedural actions that affect what grand path Knowledge takes do not need the support of everyone who votes on them in order for them to go through. Sorry, but I do believe that the community behind Knowledge is 586:: there has never been a true consensus that recipes are always, under all circumstances, inappropriate on Knowledge. There are a few who are adamant that they are not appropriate. There are those who are equally strongly opinionated the other way. I do not recall any forum in which a true consensus was established on this matter. If this rule survived on this page for 6 months, then all it is evidence for is that many established contributors don't check 8027:? No. Why not? I don't think we need a Wikiproject for this. Most of the spammish links are hit-and-run. If I see a new link in an article I'm watching, I check it, and if I don't think it adds significantly to the article I just remove it. The people that put them in usually aren't serious Wikipedians, they just want to promote a site, and they don't usually come back to check. Or if they do, they don't revert-war. If they do, they can be engaged in Talk. 10289:"Propaganda or advocacy of any kind. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a neutral point of view. You might wish to go to Usenet or start a blog if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views. The project and talk pages, likewise, are reserved for discussing changes to articles and the encyclopedia, not expressing opinions about the material covered"? 4913:
they always cast a dissenting vote for every change proposed and then declare that their dissent votes mean that no consensus was reached. Anyone trying to make a change to the template is quickly reverted. I believe it should be spelled out in writing that Knowledge is not monarchy. These guys are running a dictatorship in a 💕 and I am determined to stop it. There is probably othere instances of this elsewhere in Knowledge. Thoughts? --

decision. The discussions that accompany the voting processes are crucial means of reaching consensus. For example, a very important Knowledge process is determining which articles are not encyclopedic and should be deleted from Knowledge entirely. These decisions are made on the Knowledge:Votes for deletion page. However, voting is only a part of the process, along with discussion through which Wikipedians work to reach a consensus.
10156:, itself, is the definitive statement of our philosophy, because it isn't, and there's a definite risk (given its phrasing) of that happening if it's linked to from the top of a major policy page. New users on its talk have already asked why "such an important policy page" isn't protected; it's important that they understand that WP:5P is currently just an attempt to describe Knowledge's philosophy, albeit a good one. -- 5041:
to see what people have to say. If there is general agreement or still no responses after that time, then it is more reasonable to add a paragraph. Those general statements apply for any change, and are not my take (except for the specific recommended times) but Knowledge policy. Therefore, because policy requires consensus, I have removed the addition. My personal opinion on this specific change is below.
9215:
every single thing in the world, and not all of it can be included here. The aim of any encyclopedia is to synthesise the important elements, and provide a jumping off point for those who want to research a topic more fully. At some point, perhaps Wikibooks will become the veritable "sum of all human knowledge" and supersede all the world's libraries and Web pages— but Knowledge isn't the place to put
9122:. Since this is already banned, why not just add a fourth item to the crystal ball section that says something like: "Knowledge is not a repository for speculation on minor future events such as the plot of a future television episode, the outcome of a future sports game, etc." I do agree, though, that the Lost article should be cut down to only past episodes and official press releases from ABC. — 5379:'s energy needs," despite official statements to that effect. Nor is it enough to quality such statements with words like "claimed" or "planned" or "expected." Instead, descriptions should be provided only when they can be backed up by citations from independent sources who have had an opportunity to examine the work in progress and can report accurately on what has or has not actually been achieved. 7253:
other articles and it seems that some of these warnings, while no-one disputes that they may be helpful are not encyclopaedic and there is no clear line do draw on what warnings to allow and to not allow. I have no problem when such warnings are written into the article in an encyclopaedic tone, but when they are bolded or put in special boxes I think it crosses the line into being encyclopaedic.--
4401:(particularly on the mailing list), where many participants are assuming that Knowledge equivalents to appeals courts must function the same way as their real-world (specifically, American) equivalents do. This line of thought was refuted a few times, but persists. It occurs to me that "Knowledge is not the real world" has a more general application, and so could be useful in WP:NOT. -- 7797:
of rules and restrictions -- enforced with manic efficiency by monitors who devote an abnormal amount of time to this police activity -- the average contributor is likely to just feel that they are being exploited. And since so-called official sources are now the only kosher source of information, contributors have been reduced to mere relayers of information, plagiarists and pirates.
7793:
Wikipedians didn't feel compelled to conform in order to achieve mainstream acceptance; when Knowledge's basic nature couldn't be altered at the drop of a hat just because of a critical news article; when Wikipedians dealt with abuse of the system through their own effort rather than attempting to graft an artificial authoritarian system on to something that had grown up organically.
6224:. Knowledge is not a place for stating the self-evident. Knowledge is not a Brochure, Personal Improvement Book, Motivation Seminar, Examples Book, Infant's Encyclopedia, Collection of Philosophical Axioms, or List of Half-Baked Ideas. While it might be perfectly true that "setting realistic deadlines improves an employee's performance", statements of this type are unencyclopedic. 852:
a repository of trivia. Information should only be added if may be of interest to a range of people." I think it needs to be short and sweet like that - we can't even say "broad range" because that would exclude specialist academic matter, and going into more detail would just open up all the other issues on the page over again. But the current heading should go because Knowledge
9219:. Fans have numerous resources available to present material that isn't appropriate to being included here, from Web sites to discussion forums to fan clubs and newsletters. My proposal is to clarify why we shouldn't be attempting to be a substitute for fan sites— who have a specific, extremely detail-interested audience, which isn't the general audience that Knowledge serves. — 8122:. Understanding the full range of slang in a particular category (e.g., body parts or sex) is indeed useful and encyclopedic (isn't understanding the meaning of others' speech useful?). Now, one could easily argue that in the case of the vast majority of slang entries in such a comparative article, they would not merit individual articles, and I agree with that argument. 7304:"Copyrighted song lyrics are not allowed to be printed in whole in any Knowledge article. Song lyrics that are in public domain are allowed, but you have to provide additional information about the song, not only the songwriter, performer, album name and year of recording, but also the background, history or (unbiased) analysis of the music and content of the song." 136:
because he supported it and because of the habit of a few editors like Gentgeen to get rid of recipes on Knowledge. However, if there is an habit of a few bold editors, I do not think it is correct to put it as a policy as I did not see clear agreement for this. I would like to see the voting page where this was decided if this should stay here. Thanks

control and on-screen displays. Strategy guides, on the other hand, usually offer detailed walkthroughs and instructions for performing techniques and beating enemies and bosses. Regardless of the outcome of the "no instruction" debate, I would think we can all agree that strategy guides, as I've jsut defined them, are unencyclopedic. Am I wrong? --

6326:, which states that Windows 95 was released in 95". That's not self-evident in my opinion. The reader has many valid reasons to assume why Windows 95 might not have been released in 1995 - perhaps is was developed in 95? perhaps it was only intended to be released in 95? perhaps Microsoft chose some future date for marketing resons? etc. -- 9963:

you aren't the first person I've seen misapply it this way, removed altogether.

It's silly semantic wordplay to say that if "someone noted it", it's notable. The two aren't equivalent.

I agree. You can vote in an election, binding referendum(to make up a specific term), or a straw poll. I would still like to hear what Kim thinks the difference between poll and vote is, but in the mean time what about something like the below, which might satisfy him. By the way, I don't like VFD

I'm sorry to yell, but this point is being constantly ignored. WE HAVE BINDING VOTES!! The recent vote over criteria for speedy deletion is a prime example. Some of our votes/polls are not binding, but some ARE. We must say that in the WP:NOT page. Also, if you come up with a better version we'd

I think the desire to avoid even using the word "vote" is a valid one is we wish to avoid the idea that we are actually voting—there's currently a push to rename "votes for deletion" which has gained significant support, for example—as language does affect the way we think about things.

Here are my predictions. You're free to prove them wrong: There will never be consensus on notability. Knowledge will never primarily be a repository of knowledge, merely of information. And one man's (or culture's) trivia is another man's (culture's) information. Any definition of notability is

You're quite right in that much of the proposed addition is connected to established policies-- as is nearly everything in "What Knowledge is Not." For example, The first two sections, "Not a paper encyclopedia" and "Not a dictionary", merit expansion on their own separate policy pages.

BTW, you opinion that we should only cover 10% of all information on a topic reveals a real disagreement. I believe we should have both broad and deep coverage (verified, neutral and sourced, of course). We shouldn't stop at 10% just because traditional encyclopedias ran out of paper.

You're arguing semantics. "Must have a claim to fame" is roughly synonymous to notability. Please realize that most of your actions against the term seem based on the fact that you're using a different definition of "notability" than most people do.

It is supposed to be somewhat offputting, in the sense that it should lead to the section being quoted less often than it is now. I suppose collection could replace repository. But repository is not a technical term or jargon as you imply it is.
