 * Quick answer: no. His use of File:Stop icon.png is a bit misleading, since it's common practice that these are used only for official business, but there's no official policy that prohibits the use otherwise. --timrem 09:21, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey Spencer10APSC, sorry it seems we got off on the wrong foot. You're right that I'm following some of the Wikipedia guidelines in my editing here, but that's just because they make sense (to me). At Wikipedia, they've had years to observe user interaction and adapt their guidelines, and they have clear summaries of what they've found to work best. What I refer to as "wiki etiquette" is based on the guidelines for users on Wikipedia, because it's been shown to work, many people are familiar with it, and a number of users expect similar behaviour on most wikis they visit. Leaving relevant edit summaries, appropriate use of "minor" edits, signing talk page comments, indenting replies, leaving others' comments untouched, assuming good faith: these are all part of common wiki etiquette. They are things which don't need to be listed explicitly in the Project:Wiki Rules, but will often be expected of users anyway. Some of these are listed. Some are not. Some should probably be added so that things are clearer for everyone, but I would never expect us to list every guideline here. We're small enough that it's possible for experienced users to patrol every edit (I mean collectively, not individually), and address issues of inappropriate behaviour with the users in question. And that works better for us than having a huge list of hundreds of policies... who would read and retain all that? (especially since we have a younger target audience than Wikipedia.) I think that's all there is to say about that. I've tried to express my point of view as best I can at this late hour, hopefully you can see where I was coming from. Please do ask me if you want clarification, I enjoy talking about this sort of thing. And, while I refrain from using it, I see nothing about foul language in the rules here. If you can find a reference please set me straight. (it is a Curse site, why couldn't we swear? ...sorry, bad joke.) Finally, above should read "If stuff here is becoming too old...", "They are very useful.". I would change it myself, except that's against wiki etiquette ;) Have a nice day, and happy editing! --timrem 09:21, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
