I'm wondering if users might be interested in collaborating on an essay on "what BLP is not." Often I see editors taking cover under BLP for edit-warring, POV-pushing, personal attacks, and all kinds of misbehavior when the material in question does not violate BLP (eg. is very reliably sourced). I think there should be a supplementary essay which clearly explains, possibly with examples, cases in which BLP does and does not apply, since the policy page itself does not appear to be sufficient. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 19:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
There are currently a lot of essays. Essays can be searched via Category:Wikipedia essays and its subcategories, or through navboxes, but the sheer amount of essays makes it difficult to navigate and skim through. My proposal is the creation of lists of essays, sorted by impact and written per topic, that summarizes the gist of each essay. Thus, there's no longer the need to click on each essay one by one. Any objections or suggestions?-- SGCM (talk) 17:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
