:I would be interested in participating in a revamp of the category related policy and guideline pages.  On the other hand, every policy change effort I've seen has turned into an exercise in herding cats.  I sincerely doubt this one, in particular, can ever go anywhere since policy change requires consensus and, as you've noticed, people have very different conceptions about what categories are for.  Perhaps an approach would be for a small group of folks to go off and work on a proposal not to be put up for general comment until it's in nearly final form.  I think WP:SFD was done this way.  The first step in this approach would be to find out who's interested in being part of the small group (and, if it's more than about 5, I suspect even this wouldn't work).   

 :Admin nomination.  Well, yes I've been waiting for someone to notice.  Unfortunately, I suspect some things I've done lately may have ruffled some feathers (notably  and Wikipedia:List of administrators#Semi-active, which both relate to Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Archive_26#automatic_nominations and the not too distant WP:VPT exchange involving Rich Wannen) so I sort of think now might not be the best time - RFA being another consensus process (80% support required, so it doesn't take very many "no" votes to keep someone from passing).  I AM sort of curious how it would go, and I'm certainly grown up enough to take it, so if you'd like to in light of my recent rabble rousing please go ahead.     July 7, 2005 00:29 (UTC)
