*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?

Comment author: wedrifid 17 March 2012 06:01:03AM 1 point [-]

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.
