User:Student7/Proposed MOS talk page standards
 | Over 1200 editors watch this page. To avoid filling their watchlists with unnecessary endless discussion, please follow these suggested guidelines. 1. Make the title to your new topic clear so watchers may know if they are interested or not. Not "==Another round of discussion==" but "==Semicolons (another attempt)==" 2.Diversions in threads can occupy too much time of responding editors and lengthen the time to resolve a question. Avoid diversions. Instead of saying "I think solution X should be applied to Y. And I think that we should apply solution W to problem Z" when Z has not been mentioned before, say, "...I also have a suggested remedy for problem Z. I've started a new thread below to discuss it." Then start a new thread "==Remedy for problem Z==" 3a.Discussion is not ping pong. You don't have to volley every serve immediately with vigor! When the discussion has not been resolved after 3 days, please respond only once a day. It won't get resolved any faster, and fewer responses will lower the entries on the watchlist. |
