1094:. I strongly suggest you review these guidelines to gain a better understanding of how this works; it will help you in the long run.Also, policies and guidelines are often written in accordance with previously-discussed consensus. New editors may not be aware of when or where those discussions took place, so usually the recommendation is to skip editing boldly and discuss first prior to making any changes in these areas (unless your proposal is a simple copy-edit or grammar change). Hope that helps, at least somewhat. -- 795:
then he meets NFOOTY. If he meets NFOOTY, then all is good. You can call it "dubious" all you like, but the wording is in black and white there on the page. Additionally, the wording you claim is "not that reliable" has been the wording for quite some time, it seems, as you were advised in the RFC you started. You mightn't like it, but them's the breaks, and I suggest you may wish to remember that in future. Hopefully, any future interaction we have will be geared around a mutual desire to build an encyclopedia.

have to learn to just accept that and move on in many cases. I've tried my hand and fixing some of Knowledge (XXG)'s biggest problems myself, most notably tryng a few years ago to find some consensus about our scattershot approach to civility. It wasn't a total disaster, but it didn't accomplish a damn thing either. So I moved on and let it be. It's a real problem, but I couldn't do anything to solve it.

I don't know who you think you are, but suffice it to say that you are not nearly qualified to be the judge of what constitutes a personal attack. I am not kidding when I say you are on the verge of being blocked, probably indefinitely. I think you should be sitebanned, but that has not happened yet.

I agree with that reasoning that unilaterally changing criteria might result in an addition that wouldn't be supported broadly. It is something I should have thought of before doing that, I only followed the rules instead of thinking for myself - a very bad idea. I am just not sure if your standard

You're going to have to do more than that. It's not enough to simply wait for a day of discussion before charging off and doing your edits all the same. You need to gain a broad consensus for any change you make in a notability guideline, and if you can't gain that consensus, you can't change the

PS:I do see the problem, you mean that when I unilaterally change the guideline(or change it after one or two people have commented), then it might not accurately reflect real consensus amongst all Knowledge (XXG) editors? Because few might see it? That's a good reasoning, a very good one. But...

I certainly don't accept these restrictions; I accept that some people didn't want my direct editing and that discussing first is probably not a bad idea even if I think that its unnecessary(as it simply does not generate so much problems).I can agree with not making any more edits to notability
