I think we should totally do away with the Guideline/Policy/Essay notices.. Instead we should put a signature space below... so users can see all the people who support the page.
Right. And people should renew their sig evey time the page is edited. Seriously, Voting IS Evil.
Encourage SPOV editing. ;) What I suggested isn't a vote anyways. If you think it is, then you misunderstand me or you misunderstand voting.
It will look like a vote and be assumed to be a vote.
Still, what Gregory is proposing is exactly how it used to be, isn't it. Of course, that was when Keep Rules Simple was a Rule.

How long ago was that? I don't remember ever seeing or even hearing out policy pages with lists of people that endorse them...
If you endorse a policy page, you do so by keeping quiet. If you don't endorse it, you either edit the bit you don't like, or you mention it on the talk page. You can tell if a policy has the support of the community by looking at the talk page and history. That's the difference between consensus decision making and democracy.
