Bad idea
IMHO, this redirect is a *bad idea* as it intentionally conflates the ideas of being bold and fixing things. This has the effect of marginalizing objective commentary and discussion, which is often necessary for perspective and consensus. It is also very off-putting. 70.247.169.197 (talk) 23:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree about the off-putting part particularly. I see this redirect used often in the sense of, "Why are you telling me this potential change? I don't want to make the change because I'm lazy. You should do it yourself and save me the trouble." Other redirects to the "be bold" policy are used more constructively in discussion. -Phoenixrod (talk) 17:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
