This page has a redirect from "civility" but aside from incorrectly defining civility as referring "to behaviour between persons and groups that conforms to a social (ie. "civil") mode, as itself being a foundational principle of society and law" it doesn't mention civility again.
Pretty much the entire article here is about political theories of what a good citizen is like *not* what good/effective behavior during discussion and formal debate is like. I don't know how to kill a redirect with a wiki but this redirect should be killed and a stub on *actual* civility should be started because civic virtue and civility are not the same thing.
I don't agree that the two subjects are the same thing, though there clearly is some overlap. More importantly, the merge tag was put on the two articles on 2 February and the redirect (the merger) was done a day later - without any discussion whatsoever that I can see (if there was any discussion at Talk:Incivility, that's gone now).
I wouldn't be so concerned about this if WP:CIVIL, a key Wikipedia guideline, didn't use the word "incivility" without really defining it, making an article about that word have a lot more important, I think. In any case, I don't believe it would hurt anything to keep the discussion (or possibility thereof) open for a week or so before closing out the matter. -- John Broughton (☎☎) 16:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Political correctness seems to be often misinterpreted for civility-- mrg3105 mrg3105 08:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I reverted to an older version - What happened to this article? For months it has been in a state of disrepair. The introduction was composed of a bunch of sloppily-formatted, nonsensical sentence fragments. "Civics for the success of the community" sounds like a partisan political group. It isn't a sentence by itself - it's merely the subject. Fuzzform ( talk) 20:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Like the many above who opposed the old redirect, the article confuses two distinct topics, "Civic virtue" and "civility". I propose either that "civility" be made its own article, taking material from this one, or that any unique stuff not related to civic virtue be put in the appropriate articles (e.g. etiquitte). The talk above all seems to support it. Is there any opposition to this? Morgan Riley ( talk)
