Regarding your grammatical change at Deletion policy
You changed the line


 * Anyone except blocked users is welcome

to


 * Anyone except blocked users are welcome

Now, it does sound like it is correct with are, but consider the case where the exception is left out:


 * Anyone is welcome
 * Anyone are welcome

Perhaps more obvious in this case, the singular conjugation is correct. Having said that, the subject that is welcome does not change due to the exception stated mid-sentence. I've reverted your aforementioned change in grammar. BigNate37T·C 18:18, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
