User talk:Eclipsed/Bright line strategy

rules masquerading as an essay
If this is a Bright-line rule, it isnt an essay. This set of rules isnt endorsed by Wikipedia in general, directly contradicts COI, and is heavily disputed at Requests for comment/COI. I think it should be moved to userspace or under a WikiProject until it has broad acceptance by the community. John Vandenberg (chat) 22:21, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * On a related note to moves, to COI, and as a counterexample to this essay, what do folks think of moving the draft essay User:Eclipsed/A very specific list of non-controversial edits in mainspace into Wikipedia: space?  -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 13:45, 27 April 2012 (UTC) -- nevermind, essay now resides at WikiProject Cooperation/Non-controversial edits.  -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 14:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If you need a bright line, and others share that need, I can support you self-regulating in that way. However other people with a COI are able to find their own way of abiding by content guidelines.  The more than people try to move COI/paid editors to second class citizens, the more I believe that a) those people are unaware of the full gamit of motivations for editing Wikipedia (and, those motivations have made Wikipedia a success) and b) that COI needs to be abandoned and replaced with more emphasis on/effort to ensuring compliance with the content guidelines.

 * I also support any editor that wants to self-regulate according to the Bright Line concept. Regarding the other points raised, perhaps folks could add some content to the currently empty WP:BRIGHTLINE section, and expand on the WP:BRIGHTLINE section. Thanks.   -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI Declaration) 12:04, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
