[edit] Governance reform and AGF challenge

Hi! I've been reading through some of your comments on WT:Governance reform. I find hard rules and binding decisions as appealing as the next person, but I also find your arguments very compelling.

Working within a corporate hierarchy, I see first-hand the tension between being bold to get things done, and waiting for the formal decision-making process to complete. When I do employee performance reviews there are usually questions on the form about display of management skills. Non-manager employees almost always skip these questions on the grounds that they simply have zero opportunity to exercise management skills. I tell them that the true test of management skills is exercising influence over others when you don't have a manager title, or when they don't report to you. I guess this corresponds to building consensus.

I followed the link to WP:Lectures, and I'm sorry to find that I missed the session on Fill's AGF challenge. I'm sure that you're really busy, but I'd appreciate any feedback you might have on my answers. Cheers, Bovlb (talk)

[edit] Found this in my user space

I forgot all about this, but I remember being so impressed with what you said one day i turned it into a user space essay. See User:Hiding/Editing policies. You may want to keep it handy. Hiding T 21:54, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

You kept it? Interesting! --Kim Bruning (talk) 22:23, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought it was too. Even more interesting was the fact that I had forgotten I kept it. Hiding T 13:33, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Party!

Not the fun type though. Since WP:Village pump (proposals)#Move to republicanism? and similar other ideas for further bureaucrating and politicizing Wikipedia seem to be gaining traction I am thinking of writing an essay and preparing the groundwork for a potential "Wikipedia political party" based on defending IAR and wp:NOTSTATUTE, promoting the trifecta over the five pillars, defending and promoting use of common sense, and the primacy of consensus; should any sort of "representative" body that is elected by the community with the purpose to impose and maintain our policies "for us" because there are too many Wikipedians. The "party" would then put up candidates for whatever representative body develops and keep members informed about what candidates are "endorsed" by the party, keep them informed on relevant policy page discussions, encourage votes, pretty much everything a real pol party does (except we dont need money!). If some want to have a representative body and further organize and bureaucratize Wikipedia, I figure we should be prepared for it and fight within the system (plus I'm a poli sci grad student so this is what I do for a living!) Since you share similar views to mine, I was wondering if you are interested in helping to draft such an essay and/or in joining/organizing such a "party", which of course would start off as just a list of editors who sign on in agreement to said essay and ideals/beliefs of the direction Wikipedia should head. If you are interested I can detail on a sandbox off my user page further thoughts, and you can put your personal thoughts as well thus getting an essay off the ground.Camelbinky (talk) 02:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and started a page User:Camelbinky/Partysandbox if you wish to go there and read my ideas, the associated talk page can be used to talk about and refine what is said.Camelbinky (talk) 22:44, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
