Simplify, Objectify and Stabilize Policies and Guidelines

I have long ceased to be surprised at what survives in Wikipedia, for really long periods. Putting in "2+2=5" will not survive, but it needs only be rephrased a little and it stands a good chance of surviving.

I understand that there are many who do not know what "quality" is and who do not want to know, and in Wikipedia there are all too often conditions where it cannot exist. Still, it is a pity. - Brya 05:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually mathematicians operate with additive operations wherein 2 (+) 2 = 5, see e.g. en:Abelian group.

Touché! Shows once again that making up a good example is really hard (and dangerous) work. - Brya 05:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
