[WikiEN-l] I am very concerned by the arbcomm decision against jguk

[Fred Bauder]

No, it sets the precedent you cannot impose the particular usage you  
prefer on the rest of the world, especially on groups who are  
offended by that usage. It is more an elaboration of our general  
policy on courtesy. Another aspect of the decision is that you cannot  
unilaterally declare your preference Wikipedia policy without having  
it adopted as an actual policy.
