Hi. It's nice that people asked you about a set of rules for the wiki, but I think ultimately they (and the rest of the community there) are the only ones who can decide whether they are a good choice for how they want the wiki to grow.

That said they seem a bit long and potentially hard for admins to apply in a way that contributors will understand -- "common sense" seems to vary a lot from person to person, and of course there are always exceptions. The best wikis have ongoing discussions about policy and are willing to change and grow as the needs and interests of the community change and grow.

It also seems a bit backwards to me to have stricter rules on the Idea Wiki and less strict on the new one Ultimatespiderman created; wouldn't it be easier to build the new wiki from the ground up under stricter rules and have a looser set of guidelines for the already established wiki?
