[edit] Civility

Here is my boilerplate reminder on civility:

To all Wikipedia contributors: Please familiarize yourself with and follow Wikipedia:Civility - at its most basic:

" Participate in a respectful and civil way. ... Wikipedians define incivility roughly as personally targeted behavior that causes an atmosphere of greater conflict and stress. "

Wikipedia:Civility is an offical policy of Wikipedia (i.e., not optional.) Even conduct listed under "Petty examples" is not acceptable. If you are unable to follow the guidelines in this policy, then you should avoid editing Wikipedia articles or posting to Wikipedia Talk pages. There are many other venues on which your posts will be welcome.

Remember: Theoretically, this is an encyclopedia. Let's strive for professionalism. "But he started it!" is not a valid excuse.

IMHO, the style of your posts to Talk:René Guénon has frequently not been "respectful", and has shown a willingness to create "an atmosphere of greater conflict and stress".
Maintaining a civil attitude is often tough. I struggle with this myself. But on Wikipedia, it's not optional. If you don't modify your style, somebody is eventually going to complain about you and you're going to get blocked from contributing. Obviously, you'll decide for yourself whether you'd prefer to modify your style or be blocked.
Thanks for your consideration. -- Writtenonsand (talk) 12:29, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
