Sorry for using such a crass word, but I think that's what the success or failure of this will boil down to. Much like political terms in real life (U-turn in the UK, for instance), some powerful dirty words have emerged on Wikipedia that tend to stop these proposals from gaining traction. They include "hat collecting", "adding more bureaucracy", "adding to a hierarchy" and "admin-lite". I'm not raising these points to be awkward, I'm raising them because if I don't, someone who believes in them will. In my experience, the best way to counter these arguments is to go on the offensive – attempt to discredit them as arguments before they are made. —WFC14:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
