I didn't like your alternative for the "Many of us believe" line either, even though I don't like that line (it was what I came up with to improve on Luke's original text). To give the context: the current About page introduces twelve virtues with:
John's edit was to change it to:
P.S. I no longer supervise the edits to the wiki, but someone should...
He didn't like my other three attempts at changes either... I could come up with 10 different ways of writing that sentence, but I'd rather let him make some suggestions.
If you made the suggestions here and received public support for one of them it wouldn't matter much what Grognor thought.
Why don't you make a suggestion?
*cough* Mine is 'delete the sentence entirely'. I never really liked that virtues page anyway!
Sounds like a great idea.
I entirely agree with this.
To be clear, you are in favor of leaving the virtues off of the about page, correct?
For what it is worth, yes.
Okay, thanks. One of the other wiki editors didn't think you meant that.
Whatever wedrifid actually meant is not "apparent consensus", given that there's just 2 upvotes on the statement where it wasn't apparent to the voters what he actually meant... Reverted with suggestion to escalate to a discussion post and voting more clearly. Also, this started from talking about bad wording, which is a separate question from leaving the section out altogether, so the hypothetical discussion posting should distinguish those questions.
Okay.
That change is less bad than the original but it is sometimes better to hold off on changes that may reduce the impetus for further improvement without quite satisfying the need.
To be honest, I don't have much energy left to fight this. I'd like to rethink the entire page, but if I have to fight tooth and nail for every sentence I won't.
