::::If you're still looking to call them out, then you need to reread the second half of second sentence. I pretty much said that you are more than welcome to remind other users that they can be just as talkative as someone with the tools is; but with the weight of policy, that becomes force, rather than suggestion. --[[User:Sky2042|Sky]] ([[User talk:Sky2042|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Sky2042|c]] · [[w:c:wow:User:Sky2042|w]]) 02:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

== Proposed rewrite ==
Currently, this policy is apparently written for people who think they are less valuable than others. It also implies (or can be distorted to imply) that users are equally important regardless of their actions. This really should be changed. For example:
<blockquote>Whether you are a new user without an account or an admin with years of experience, you are just as valuable an editor as anyone else, and your input is welcomed. However, this does not mean that experience is irrelevant, nor does it mean you can fool around and expect to be treated like someone who makes productive edits.</blockquote>
