 * Neutral Not sure what this is in response to, but voting, and straw polls, can not proceed on the basis of vague definitions. As in, -agree with the guideline on weasel words- agree with what/ that there should be a guideline, that there is a guideline, that it should be a policy, that it should not be a guideline, that it disagrees with other policies, that it restates other policies redundantly, or that any specific word or phrase is ambiguous/clear as WP:CRYSTAL? Edits are welcome on a guideline page such as AWW, and any draft rewrites are discussed, word by word, on talk/pages. Straw polls generally follow then, if necessary, or am I missing some discussion that's taking place in another forum?Newbyguesses - Talk 02:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Support It mirrors a courtroom objection to gossip. Anonymous evidence can hav weight, but it should be measured in documents of this class. BrewJay (talk) 04:38, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Support I think this policy generally a good idea. I also think as part of the guideline it should be "cite it or omit it." --Ipatrol (talk) 00:34, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
