Revision as of 17:26, 16 November 2004

The Harmonious editing club was proposed by User:Ed Poor in December 2003. It has not yet become a visible force of the Misplaced Pages community.

Proposed guidelines

Original call

Link added - none were present in the original text.

I would like to propose the formation of a sort of club or SIG within Misplaced Pages—sort of on the lines of the old semi-humorous Misplaced Pages "militia"—a group of contributors who will join to intervene in edit wars and work together to create a stable and neutral article, one which all parties to the edit war would agree is correct and good and satisfying.

These club members would show by example how to contribute in a harmonious, useful fashion. These members would bind THEMSELVES to the rule of "you can only revert once". They would propose options on the talk page BEFORE making edits to the article. They might even wait an hour or a day for assent from others before making a change.

These club members would politely remind others not to make abusive remarks on talk pages. They would refactor talk when it becomes too long or tangled.

Club Members

Pages in need of harmony

a.k.a. Pages on fire

Keep this list as short as possible — a maximum of five, please. There are plenty more pages in need of harmony listed on Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment. This list is for pages with particularly vehement conflicts that have lasted a very long time. Let's do our best to extinguish the flames by helping these pages find a consensus.
