Here you go, Specifico, feel free to fill in the blanks. (Others are welcome to add as well.)
As the understanding and application of policies and guidelines is especially important for experienced users, admin hopefuls, and admins, this subpage should serve to educate me.
The table is restricted to policy and guideline errors. Observations about rudeness, incivility, bruskness, potty-mouth, smileys, may be posted on another table at a later date. Explanation of columns:
- Diff (& date): Self evident (date is optional).
- Error type: Mis-quote, mis-representation, inapplicable, whatever (one word description).
- Policy cited: Acronym will do.
- An error because.....: A short analysis. Something like "Rich cited BLP, but Albert Einstein is dead."
- Correct policy: Not confined to policies. Guidelines are certainly appropriate.
- Result of error: Changes to article; consensus; block; warning; whatever.
- Support from others: Something like diffs or statements from others who agree that an error exists.
- Opposite view from others: Diffs or statements from others who dis-agree that an error exists.
- Rich's response: I reserve this column. I might post diffs made at the time or provide ex post facto commentary.
- Miscellany: Added because I thought a 10 x 10 table would be nice.
