I make a /strong/ request that some type of user agreement message be added to each edit window. It could state something like the
following;
"By pressing save you indicate that you agree to the rules and conditions of using this website"'rules and conditions', as I've stated in previous emails, would be a [in a new window] link to a simplified version of the policy page
with just
the basics; NPOV, 'we are an encyclopedia', no copyright violations
and
Wikipetiquette.
I think that's a good idea. I would modify the text a bit: the rules are more about *contributing* rather than *using*, i.e. reading. Maybe
"By pressing save you indicate that you agree to the rules and conditions of contributing to this website"
or even nicer
"By pressing save you indicate that you agree to the rules of our community."
This could replace the current GFDL copyright notice.
In any event, the [[Wikipedia:Wikipetiquette]] document right now is a joke and can in this form not be made part of the rules. E.g. rule 1: "Try to say something positive for each complaint you make." ?? If Wikipetiquette is to be included, than it has to be a minimalistic version: be polite, no personal attacks.
