I can't say why you didn't know about it, Jeff. It was talked about in many different places; around 170 editors had edited it by the time it went live, and nearly 300 had posted on the talk page. Plus it was mentioned several times on V and NOR talk -- e.g. when editors would post with a complaint about the policies, someone would say check out the proposal at ATT which deals with this. It really *was* widely discussed.
Sure. I don't disagree. BUT people still didn't notice. If it's not easy for well-established Wikiaddicts to know about such a proposal, what's going to happen?
I'm in the process of trying to get [[Wikipedia:Article inclusion]] into something worthwhile. Will it work? Damned if I know, but I'm trying. But I also know that I need to make sure I touch as many people as possible to get the consensus to make it what it will end up being. I'm not sure if that really happened w/ATT.
We keep harkening back to BLP, which was really kind of rushed and kind of blindsided a lot of people.
No, it didn't. Quite the reverse.
Really? You and I edit in amazingly different areas, so maybe that's why you think it's the reverse. My experience is quite different.
