[edit] The grey zone

  • The grey zone exists, in Wikipediaspace, or perhaps in some mindspace yet unexplored. It is the twilight zone of accusation, counter accusations, and BADFAITH all around.
  • Although there is the opposite quandrary, which is what to do when the *heroe* really does exhibit all the signs of being dangerous and disruptive?
  • Try to avoid the gray zone of accusations, and avoid also the grey zone of failure to communicate.
  • Discussion previous to this page's creation took place here.

(In case you didn't guess, the *here* of the text on the page is Adolf Hitler, though I really didn't want to say that, it's in the grey zone too!!)

[edit] Image

There was an image in the black message-box, but it was Non-free and so can only go in articles, not WPspace. The image The image was of Rod Serling, the host of the creaky ancient TV show, The Twilight Zone. Appropriate image could still go there, in the black message box, if there is a suitably one that's free liscence. Newbyguesses - Talk 03:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Janus cassini.jpg perhaps, or something similar with free liscence? Newbyguesses - Talk 05:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] See also

The current items constitute an interesting mix. The NPOVFAQ and "writing for the enemy" are sensible entries - perhaps that means they are disqualified from a HUMOR page?

WP:SPADE, WP:DICK and META:Don't be a crybaby represent the danger inherent in labelling any behaviour precipitously - in other words, BEWARE of the grey zone of accusation.

(Personally, I find META:DICK quite peurile, I reckon it is well past its *Sell by date*!!)

WP:SPADE and WP:DFTT both are subject to this same problem of mis-direction, or as a double-edged sword -- BEWARE of the grey zone.

So that completes the current list, and why these items are included.

[edit] Discussion

I am hoping that the value, if any, in this discussion page, is if thoughtful editors care to comment on, and discuss approaches to or remedies for the underlying tension between say, assuming good faith and calling a spade a spade?

The advice offered on the project page itself could be UPDATED as necessary to reflect the findings of such a thoughtful discussion, if (forth-coming) necessary. Newbyguesses - Talk 00:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User box for Wikipedia:The twilight zone

I recommend making a user box so editors who understand Wikipedia:The twilight zone editing and attend to its problems would Shout it out on their user pages. The more editors "C" are aware of this, the less wikidrama we will have. Igor Berger (talk) 05:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
