[edit] introduction

This essay has been re-located from a location that was up for deletion (discussion here). I have streamlined it to remove aspects of it that editors felt were or could be used for personal attacks. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 17:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfDs

From the context in which you cited this in a deletion discussion just now, I wonder whether it might be useful to add a suggestion that people revisit AfDs in which they have participated to see whether new evidence has been found that might persuade them to change their vote? Failing to do that (or insisting on sticking by one's original vote even when it becomes untenable) is, after all, the most ostrich-like behaviour. — Haeleth Talk 19:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that's a good idea. I keep AfDs I vote in on my watchlist. Any suggestion on how to phrase this for the article? PT ^(s-s-s-s) 20:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
