This page is for the development of policies for the reform of Misplaced Pages. If you think that Misplaced Pages does not need reform then you have nothing to contribute here so please go away. This is a long-term project so do not expect instant results.

Subjects for discussion

Bullying

I thought Misplaced Pages had an anti-bullying policy at Misplaced Pages:WikiBullying but I have since been told that this is "just an essay". Let's have a proper anti-bullying policy.

Bias

Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view is not enforced consistently. This must change.

Poor administration

The suggestion from QuackGuru (below) is one possible option. Are there others?

Democracy and consensus

I think we need a policy for sacking bad administrators. A Recall election might be a way to do this.

Fairness

Misplaced Pages rules are not enforced consistently. Some editors are continually being banned while others commit the same offences and get away with it. This suggests bias on the part of some administrators.

Other

Suggestions welcome.

Who should we approach?

  • Misplaced Pages administrators
  • Trustees of the Wikimedia foundation
  • Regulators (e.g. Ofcom)
  • Other (suggestions welcome)

Possibly relevant sources

WMF board members

The WMF must hire people to edit Misplaced Pages to police article content and resolve disputes. This can be done with a separate and new non-profit organization to avoid losing Section 230 immunity.
