Cluocracy edit
Is this a made up word? Why that word? HighInBC 16:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
and the point of this is? edit
Holy crap, enough of the pointless essays. -- Ned Scott 05:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
For the truly clueless edit
I think this page needs a serious definition of the term, as it relates to Wikipedia. -- Ϫ 06:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- The root of cluocracy, clew, is associated with a ball or sphere, from the German kliuwa, almost as if early English speakers had seen the puzzle ball icon after navigating to Wikipedia's main page.Tamanoeconomico (talk) 16:46, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
Cluocracy vs. ClueBot edit
I think that "Wikipedia:CLUE" should redirect to User:ClueBot NG. Kitty 56 (talk) 18:36, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
a jewel edit
in my view this is one of the most important essays in WP. A little jewel. Jytdog (talk) 09:28, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Examples edit
"Some Wikipedia processes represent attempts to legislate Clue." - any specific examples? Siuenti (씨유엔티) 09:32, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- It is something you see arise sometimes at policy/guidelines discussions when people try to turn them into rulebooks and get hyperdetailed. The general principles are what matter and there is no end to proposing detailed permutations to try to address people who don't have clue. Jytdog (talk) 19:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- So attempts to legislate Clue are misguided? I didn't get that from the essay, could the word "misguided" be added to clarify? Siuenti (씨유엔티) 20:39, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
But It Doesn't edit
Frequently and in dramatic fashion. That this is an ideal should be noted - because incidents where democracy, if not a near proxy to anarchy, rules abound throughout the guide. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:19, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
