('current' version as of nomination) The friends-list is one thing, though this isn't Bebo. The enemies-list is completely counter-productive, and a highly unpleasant idea, unlikely to induce constructive collaborative editing. ╟─ Treasury Tag ► Africa, Asia and the UN ─╢ 20:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep the list of friends, cut the list of enemies. Publishing negative stuff like that, anywhere, is not good for anyone.  Brian  should try harder to understand his "enemies".  If there is an active dispute that can't be avoided, he can ask for help.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:22, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

 * It shouldn't be called an "enemies" list, but having an "active conflicts" list is actually not as counterproductive as people seem to believe. We can't go publishing negative stuff into dispute resolution for everything. Bringing such conflicts out into the open would actually encourage third parties to step in and try to help resolve the issues. If they are enemies, they are going to presumably be WP:DICKs to each other anyway - I'd prefer that other editors have a heads-up on existing conflicts. Rename enemies to 'active conflicts', and perhaps require a very brief reason or a diff that explains why the person is on the list. Instead of trying to censor this list, go ask what the problem is, and try to help resolve it.    M   19:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd probably support someone listing their "active conflicts". I'd probably want to know the nature of the conflict, and what is being done to attempt to resolve the conflict.  It also might be useful to keep a record of past but resolved conflicts.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:28, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
