It's an inappropriate redirect; it's a noticeboard that looks like a policy link Prosfilaes (talk) 04:28, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both start with "commons". Hyacinth (talk) 05:54, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Who cares? That doesn't affect anything I said; it's still a noticeboard that looks like a policy link.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:37, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Redirect to English Wikipedia. We are an international project, it is totally inappropriate to confuse a user this way. There's already a lot of people who believe that we are just a file dump for ENWP, this completely noncivil approach and redirect needs to be deleted.

Nice to see you here as well. Attempting to correct something which has been criticized is not uncivil. Making baseless accusations of incivility is uncivil. Hyacinth (talk) 02:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What would you all suggest instead? Hyacinth (talk) 02:20, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting the redirect until if and when we have a policy page to direct it to.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:37, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Commons is a multilingual project, and one separate from the encyclopedia projects. Binding by redirect to an en.wiki policy (implying use/deference to that policy) is inappropriate, as it ignores lingual and cultural diversity of the Commons and the local values and environment, which do not necessarily follow that of en.wiki. If formal guidance on (in)civility is desired, develop a local page with the input of Commons editors. Эlcobbola talk 19:26, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
