When you have a point to make, use direct discussion only.
|
When one becomes frustrated with the way a
policy or guideline
is being applied, it may be tempting to try to discredit the rule or interpretation thereof by, in one's view, applying it consistently. Sometimes, this is done simply to prove a point in a local dispute. In other cases, one might try to enforce a rule in a generally
unpopular
way, with the aim of getting it changed.
Such behavior, wherever it occurs, is highly disruptive and can lead to a
block
or
ban
. If you feel that
a policy is problematic
, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or related pages. If mere discussion fails to resolve a problem, look into
dispute resolution
.
Practically speaking, it is impossible for Wikipedia to be 100 percent consistent, and its rules will therefore
never be perfect
. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to
sway it with disruptive tactics
.
- If
someone nominates one of your favorite articles for
deletion
...
- do
explain why the subject meets
inclusion criteria
, providing
reliable sources
to support your assertion.
- do not
nominate another similar article for deletion, giving the same rationale.
- If
you have nominated an article for deletion, and others vote to keep it...
- do
participate in the discussion, basing your argument on
policies and guidelines
.
- do not
create an article on what you consider to be a similarly unsuitable topic, with hopes that others will make the same arguments for deletion.
- If
someone deletes from an article information which they call "
unimportant
" or "
irrelevant
", which you consider to in fact be important to the subject...
- do
explain on the article's talk page why you feel the material merits inclusion.
- do not
delete most of the remaining article as "
unimportant
".
- If
you think someone unfairly removed a reference to a
self-published
source...
- do
explain why the use of the source in question was appropriate in that instance, or find a
better
source for the information.
- do not
summarily remove all references to sources which appear to be self-published.
- If
you think someone unfairly removed "
unsourced
" content...
- do
find a source for it, make the referencing clear if it was already present, or explain why the content in question shouldn't require a cited source.
- do not
summarily remove from the page everything which appears to be unsourced.
- If
you feel that it is too easy to add misinformation to Wikipedia...
- do
watch
recent changes
and fact-check anything that looks at all suspicious.
- do not
create an elaborate
hoax
with hopes of getting publicity for it.
- If
you feel that a particular source does not meet Wikipedia
standards
...
- do
express your concerns on the talk pages of articles which cite it, or at the
reliable sources noticeboard
.
- do not
add even more references to the source, with hopes of provoking opposition to its use.
- If
you think that the
Arbitration Committee
has conducted inappropriate
CheckUser
s...
- do
express your concerns on one of the CheckUser policy talk pages or at a relevant Arbcom page.
- do not
frivolously suggest a CheckUser.
- If
you think that this list of examples has become excessively long and boring...
- do
opine that the guideline's purpose would remain clear even if half of the examples were deleted.
- do not
add
47
more examples just to show that people
won't actually read
such lists.
A commonly used shortcut to this page is
WP:POINT
. However, just because someone is
making a point
does
not
mean that they are
disrupting
Wikipedia to
illustrate
that point. As a rule, editors engaging in "POINTy" behavior are making edits with which they do not actually agree, for the deliberate purpose of drawing attention and provoking opposition in the hopes of making other editors see their "point".
