P.S. Folks, if you agree with me, maybe it would help to say so publicly or privately to Jimbo.
Well, I do agree. Wikipedia has grown quite well, because we've been basically working by these rules. In a small community, that worked even without repeating these things over and again. With the size we have reached now, and more people finding their way to us, these things should be written down somewhere prominently. IMHO we shoule have a page "wikipedia:Jimbo's Golden Wikipedia Rules" ;-) and have it protected, because it won't be open to debate. This would not do any harm, as we already enforce NPOV etc., but it would help a lot if we could point newcomers there.
