Proposed Block Policy....your question
:Which is a tribute to Conan Doyle's iron point-of-view discipline: you ''never'' get inside the head of Sherlock Holmes.

:I especially wanted to set the copyright record straight, to show where matters currently stand. A ''lot'' of authors have tried to incorporate Sherlock Holmes into their stories, and those who do, need to know that somebody still owns ''some'' rights to that character. The "Copyright" reference tells whom to contact, and how.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 09:16, 21 April 2007 (EDT)

* It is as simple as the carrot and the stick.
:It is difficult, if not impossible, to impose administrative sanctions on others without at times seeming to be arbitrary or arrogant. A person will see such actions as they do, and "facts" will not change their mind. To be limited in one's response to undesirable actions, is to tie one hand behind your back from the start. I say this because as it is now worded, so much is totally subjective, and it doesn't preclude the type of Sysop reversals of another's actions we have been seeing. "Third Party" Sysop means what? They "YEC" Sysop faction? The "Liberal" faction? Conflict resolution is also subjective. When a Sysop's actions are reversed, that erodes their authority and leads users to "shop" for like-minded Sysops. This undermines the project as a whole. You can always reach me via IM or email here, if you would like to have a dialog. --[[User:TK|<small>Sysop-</small>TK]] <sub>[[User_talk:TK|/MyTalk]]</sub> 19:12, 21 April 2007 (EDT)
