User talk:Tznkai/desk/Guide to requesting Arbitration Enforcement

Guide is redundant as //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&action=edit&section=new&preload=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/preload&editintro=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement/editintro the template is fairly clear; folks who read directions can / will do the right thing from the template. Folks who don't, won't. While understanding the frustratuation with repeated malformed requests, this guides exhibits policy fallacy. (Note the concept is widespread throughout Wikipedia and not this particular guide -- I first used the term last August on the banning policy talk page. )

I found the phrase "Clear and concise communication is the best way to get the help you are asking for." ironically self-contradictory. I guess the "Ent AE guide" would read something like: ''The template has instructions. Follow them.'' NE Ent 16:07, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * My goal is to have something a little more user friendly than relying on the template and screen length pink notice, Generally speaking, when instructing, that is to say, teaching an audience something, if you don't get the results you are looking for, looking at the teaching is a better first step than blaming the audience.
 * And I think when you say policy you're referring to a specific permutation of the general problem of cruft. I don't disagree that it is a problem in general.--Tznkai (talk) 04:44, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
