This page is an archive of a community-wide discussion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made in the Senate Hall or new Consensus track pages rather than here so that this page is preserved as a historic record.
The result of the debate was No consensus, insufficient voter participation. JangFett (Talk) 04:38, May 31, 2014 (UTC)

Based on the SH discussion, I'm proposing a couple of clarifications be made to WP:NOTCENSORED. It is not the intention to change the spirit of the policy, but merely provide users access to related, relevant information. I'm setting this up as a multiple vote CT because I see the proposed wording as two separate, stand-alone proposals that could pass/fail each on their own right. - Esjs(Talk) 16:24, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

Vote 1: Reference to User page/image policies

Update the text of WP:NOTCENSORED to say (updated text in bold):

"Wookieepedia's content and other pages are not censored, though users must remain mindful of our no personal attacks policy when posting comments, as well as adhere to the rules of the User page and User image policies when editing user pages."

    • I thought I brought the subject up... initially. ;-) - Esjs(Talk) 05:02, May 20, 2014 (UTC)

  • Is there any need for a mention on something about user talk pages as well? Manoof (talk) 02:10, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Vote 2: Reference to Wikia's ToU and exceptions

Add the following text to WP:NOTCENSORED:

"Wookieepedia users are also subject to Wikia's Terms of Use with regard to content that is posted or transmitted. Wikia has made and can make exceptions on a case-by-case basis."

  2. I think this is acceptable. Leaving it "unspecific" isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it seems to cover everything while, as you said, allows for changes in ToU. Fe Nite (talk) 18:55, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

I've initially proposed very unspecific text here to allow for future changes in the ToU and exceptions. - Esjs(Talk) 16:24, May 16, 2014 (UTC)

CT Discussion

I am open to suggestions on re-wording the proposals, but please discuss in the relevant Discussion sections. - Esjs(Talk) 16:24, May 16, 2014 (UTC)
