<ref> (edit summary by ], August 19, 2006)</ref> expressed above is fundamental to the encyclopedia's operation. It has a long tradition <ref> (rules from 2001)</ref> and deep, subtle meaning. Please consider this before editing the page. |

"Every policy, guideline or any other rule may be ignored if it hinders improving Misplaced Pages." <ref>]</ref> |

|
==Summary of essay from Jimbo== |
|
|
|
|
|
Here Jimbo contributes his reasoning for supporting this policy. <ref></ref> He provides an example of his philosophy for why this policy is beneficial to the mission of Misplaced Pages: |
|
|
"...let's say the view that the earth is really flat. If flat-earthers descend on the site in hoards, then they will eventually win unless pre-flat-earth regulars band together to continually refactor the pages. It isn't necessarily about numbers, but also about how dedicated the numbers are." |
|
|
|
|
|
==Related Quotations== |
|
|
|
|
|
*"I think that those people who hate rules should ignore them, and let other people, who do care about rules, try, just try, to enforce 'em." -- Larry Sanger |
|
|
|
|
|
*"I say this'll work fine so long as people exhibit common courtesy and don't decide wikipedia is a medium for proselytism." -- JoshuaGrosse |
|
|
|
|
|
*"I now pleasantly ponder the paradox encountered by those who seek to rigorously follow this rule." --Jimbo Wales |
|
|
|
|
|
*"Well, what about the related paradox that there is no Rule to decide that something is a Rule (and so should be ignored)" --OprgaG <ref></ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
==Notice== |
|
|
This policy is currently being debated. Feel free to contribute.<ref></ref> |
