I am entertaining the notion of shortening this essay a bit (it has good points which could be made more expediently) and merging it with Wikipedia:Be reasonable. Any objections?-- Father Goose ( talk) 22:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
I've seen more than one case where a single editor may insist on rejecting and defying an existing consensus on the grounds that the consensus violates a Wikipedia policy and is therefore void. Sometimes an editor in such situations will hold tightly to his/her own interpretation of policy even if other editors reach a consensus that they are not violating policy and that the loner's interpretation is wrong. I think this potential conflict area deserves some sort of treatment in this essay. Richwales ( talk) 15:28, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
This essay contains a weasel-worded section entitled "Origins of the reasonability rule" that purports to explain the origin and alleged widespread use of this suggested rule. It is unsourced. Are essays supposed to be sourced, or are they allowed to just assert anything the author wants to say? — BarrelProof ( talk) 16:20, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
