* Solicit feedback and ask questions.

* Keep the discussion focused. Concentrate on a small set of related matters and resolve them to the satisfaction of all parties.

* Focus on the subject rather than on the personalities of the editors.

===Voting===

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussions in ARTICLETALK. However, I hope you aren't offended by my reminding you to please explain your viewpoint, rather than just agreeing with another's. Please see WP:VOTE and WP:TALK for more information.

* Solicit feedback and ask questions.

===Escalating focus on individuals in article talk pages===

Please use the talk pages only for discussing improvements to the article. If you feel the need to discuss the contributors to the article or talk page, please find a more appropriate venue to do so per [[WP:DR]], such as the editor's talk page or [[WP:WQA]]. Again, please refer to [[WP:TALK]] for more on talk page use. Thanks!

===Repeated [[WP:TALK]] violations - cease and desist===

''(Needs work)''

Please stop contributing to ARTICLETALK as you are doing here: DIFF. Such comments turn the talk page into a [[WP:BATTLE|battleground]]. If you are unable to follow [[WP:TALK|talk page guidelines]], unable to [[WP:AGF|accept good faith of others]], and unable to work cooperatively with others towards [[WP:CON|consensus]], then perhaps you find some other way to contribute to Wikipedia. See [[WP:MENTOR]].

===Escalating a situation via edit summary===

Please resist responding to other editors improper behavior with what might be seen as incivility, especially in edit summaries where comments cannot be refactored later. I find it extremely difficult to [[WP:KEEPCOOL]] myself dealing with such editors, but the problems tend to get worse when misbehaving editors find reasons for retaliating against others.

===Good example===

A bit more free advice. :) You have good points here, but perhaps you could think of a better way to phrase them?[3] Perhaps put yourself in the frame of mind of, "What if I were saying this to Elonka, instead of Fyslee? Would I use the same language?" If the answer is "No", then it might be a good idea to go back and rework your post to a more neutral tone. Can't hurt, right? :) --Elonka 17:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

==Use of warning templates==

I try to be better than the warning levels for the uw templates (eg [[Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace#Multi-level_templates]]). If I had my way, I'd rewrite the descriptions of the different levels to be more focused on previous behavior. For instance, I almost always give a uw-s1 warning to someone whose spammed for the first time, or hasn't yet received any spam warnings. I'll start with a uw-s2 warning only in the most blatant of cases, usually where the editor has already reverted back his own spam. I doubt if I've ever started with a uw-s3 warning to anyone, though I may have when they've already received related warnings at level 2 or higher. I try to follow the same approach with other situations. (from [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAnthon01&diff=183237607&oldid=183236275])
