[edit] New Policy?

If in future you'd like to have some new policy mentioned here. First propose it, get it accepted, and then like have people actually be applying it for a couple of weeks. After that it's probably notable enough (UGH! I hate notability criteria) to add here. :-)

The requirement for any policy is that to add it here, it needs to be observed as being applied on the wiki!

[edit] No polls

Just in case: Polls should not be nescessary here, just like you can't hold polls on any other kind of encyclopedic content. If you spot a poll in this space, you can be pretty sure that something has gone wrong. :-)

[edit] Arbitration decisions

A good place to start would be to go through all the Arbitration decisions. We tend to cite and rephrase policy in our "principles" sections, and you can probably also get some idea of "things that are bad" from our findings of fact sections. Kelly Martin (talk) 18:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New beginning

This is a great idea! One stop shopping for new (and old) editors to locate policy, update policies, and verify consistency. Kudos! My small suggestion: as so many guidelines are also scattered, and so many become policy, should we have a section for guidelines, or possibly sub-sections under policy sections for related guidelines?
