[WikiEN-l] Lies, damned lies, and statistics

[Ian Woollard]

Ok, here's a thing.

Should that really be in the wikipedia? It's just all about a quote.
Shouldn't that be in wikiquote?

I must admit, whenever I ask questions like this, I get 'it's dunn
enuff' to be in the wikipedia. Could somebody point me to
[[WP:DUNNENUFF]] policy because it seems to be a red link whenever I
try it. I've been looking for this policy, it's clearly one of the 5
pillars because it's used quite a lot, but I haven't located it yet.
