 == The DICK banner == 

 The reason for removing the DICK banner is because m:DICK is such a horrible ""policy"" that it should be deleted outright, not promoted anywhere.  If you'll notice, it's already been chased clear off Wikipedia, and so it now resides on Meta, where it's slightly more immune from deletion.  The fundamental problem with ""Don't be a dick"", and even its original creator admits to this now, is that it is often used in an argument as an excuse for calling someone else a name.  Instead of saying ""Please be nice"", which is a reasonable non-inflammatory thing to say, people will say ""Don't be a dick"", which is pretty much just an insult hiding under the guise of a wikilink to a pseudo-policy page.   expounds more on the issue. 

 Also, having an ad bar rapidly saying ""Don't be a XXXXX"" where XXXXX is a dozen different euphemisms for penis is just stupid, and causes terrible confusion with random readers uninformed on Wikipedia culture stumbling across any of the hundreds of places where the template is used.  The templates advertising WikiProjects at least serve a purpose, this one doesn't.  Hence the removal.
