::::So in general, if a user asks valuable questions on a talkpage which result in a more balanced article, he can still be blocked for violating the 90/10 rule? To my mind that is entirely against the ''spirit'' of this rule, which was only meant to stop users from engaging in endless blather. A user who contributes to a discussion making useful edits should never end up being blocked. [[User:Onestone|Onestone]] 12:56, 4 March 2013 (EST)
:::::"So in general, if a user asks valuable questions on a talkpage which result in a more balanced article, he can still be blocked for violating the 90/10 rule?" If the vast majority of his edits are to talk page then he will be blocked, no matter how "useful" his edits are. Why do you think it's called 90/10? - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 12:58, 4 March 2013 (EST)
::I am certain when Mr. Schlafly created the rule, he intended it to be followed in spirit, not to use it as a tool to bully others into shutting up. [[User:Brenden|brenden]] 13:44, 4 March 2013 (EST)
