Civility[edit]

(
)
  • ... that civility is the act of engaging with others in a constructive manner?

Moved to mainspace by Blippincott (talk) and Kvng (talk). Nominated by SSTflyer (talk) at 13:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC).

  • Correct me if I'm wrong but this article is not new enough, nor has it been increased fivefold. How come? --Rochelimit (talk) 16:16, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Rochelimit, On its talk page it says that it was an accepted draft from Articles for creation on 4 October, the time a draft is moved to article space is when it begins to count. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 18:16, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Some more interesting hooks: Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 20:15, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation Rainbow unicorn. So the article is new (4 October - 6 October 2015), QPQ fine, long enough, article within policy. About the hook: ALT3 is interesting but I think it's kind of unclear (the person that cited Trump as lacking civility is Jeb Bush, and this is not cited) and focus unduly on negative aspects of living people. So ALT2 approved for me.--Rochelimit (talk) 04:32, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

This article copy-pastes material verbatim from multiple sources. Examples include:

  • "Freemasonry has been a long-standing supporter of allowing and perpetuating alternative voices and ideas, promoting democratic habits of generous listening and civil discourse" (from FN4)
  • "declared this day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples" (FN6)
  • "It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, sitting in silent meditation, or doing a good deed for someone you don’t know" (from here)
  • "educate students about the role of an independent judiciary in our democracy and how our court systems work" (FN10)
...and many others. In my opinion the article needs to be rewritten from the ground up. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:17, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
