Guideline vs proposed guideline

I think it's probably more correct to describe this as a guideline. If someone wants to change this to a "proposal", perhaps some justification might be in order. It seems to me that in its current form this is a truism we can all agree on, and we can discuss how to expand it. --Tony Sidaway 23:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

as per WP:RULES "A guideline is something that is... authorized by consensus".
I agree with the statement you made. I do not agree with the statement becoming a guideline in the current form. Editors have yet to agree with the statement in this form not to be just true (or false) but to become a guideline. As such this form of the guideline is yet "proposed" --Irpen 23:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
