Just a note for you
[edit]With regards to the ANI discussion you started, I see you have referred a few times to Wikipedia:Historical portraits and pictures as policy, but I just want to note that it is an WP:ESSAY, and shouldn't be referred to as policy or guidelines, and doesn't hold the same weight as policy or guidelines. To be fair, it is probably a fairly strong essay in this case, but we should be clear about the fact that essays are not P&G. Weirdguyz (talk) 15:39, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you. Apologies for the oversight. Should I instead refer to it as “community consensus” perhaps? Ixudi (talk) 16:05, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
- No, as there is no community consensus with essays, which is almost the definition of an essay. An essay which gets consensus becomes a policy or a guideline (WP:PROPOSAL). However, the weight that essays hold can differ greatly. For instance, WP:ROPE is commonly cited in unblock requests, which explains that "Sometimes it's best to give people one last chance. But only one." However, ROPE is an essay, so doesn't need to be followed like a policy or a guideline, but it reflects a common attitude many editors hold. Meanwhile something like Wikipedia:There is a deadline is much more akin to perhaps personal opinion some editors may hold. I think the key is that essays are effectively pre-written explanations for something, not rules. When referring to Wikipedia:Historical portraits and pictures, you aren't citing policy or guidelines, but really just another persons reasoning which they already came up with, which you don't want to have to write out all over again. That's how I'd refer to it. Weirdguyz (talk) 16:27, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello. You're invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:52, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
