...from the onset one of the two options is accepted:
*Wikiquette as practiced on the other language sites is practiced the same
way there; or
*All behavior on
klingon.wikipedia.org is unique to it, & any rules or
agreements concernign what is permitted does not apply anywhere else.
My reason for this is simple: the image we have of the Klingons is that
they are an aggressive, warrior species. I can't recall any description
of how their scholars/researchers/academics behave; for all I know, the
Klingon term for "tenured college professor" can be best translated as
"he with the sharpest batleth". (And take a look at the Klingon
programmer's
rules both as a possible source for inspiration, & for a good laugh.)
The point isn't how I think Klingons behave, it's that we may find some
new editors come to the Klingon Wikipedia thinking that since flamewars,
inflexibility, & Denial of Service attacks is how "real" academic Klingons
would do, then they should act the same way. And carry this obnoxious
behavior into the rest of Wikipedia.
I don't care what the decision about Klingon Wikiquette is; it might be a
good thing if all of the editors go about their contributions with the goal
of leaving a trail of the bodies of their opponents as they go about their
work, because that way the Arbitration Committees of the other Wikipedias
could use the option of banishing problem Wikipedians to the Klingon
Wikipedia as a solution for some disputes. But in either case, I don't want
any disruptions to seep from it into our other communities.
