Do we have to vote on everything?[edit]

This is becoming bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake, in my opinion. "Assume good faith" does not need to be branded some "official" policy. What does that even change? The essay represents not a law, but a principle we value, and advice for following its philosophy. If it is just confirmation that the current version has agreement that you are seeking, well, that can be done with the normal consensus editing. Dmcdevit·t 06:28, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No we don't have to vote on everything. If there are no objections why don't you go ahead and replace the banner that says DRAFT PROPOSAL with {{policy}}? Maybe I'm just not bold enough, but I'm not sure how you could check if there were any objections without running a vote. DAVilla 12:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Er, that's not what I said at all. Dmcdevit·t 19:35, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
