#How do you view the role (and relative importance) of [[WP:Civility]] in the process of building a factually accurate encyclopedia? How do you view editors who are normally correct in article namespace, but who may be perceived as rude – including to longtime, popular editors and admins – on Talk pages and the like?
::I think that [[WP:Civility]] is a basic plank of Wikipedia, uo there with [[WP:NPOV]], [[WP:AFG]], [[Wikilove]], [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers]], [[WP:NOT]], etc. Regardless of the standing of an editor, it is vital that all debate here be conducted with respect for each other and in a rational fashion, and I have generally tried to model this behaviour in my interactions with others.

#Do you have an academic background of any kind, and if so, in what field? How do you handle critiques from your peers and professors (assuming those aren’t one and the same), which may be sharply worded or otherwise skirt the edges of [[WP:Civility]] even if they are correct? Considering those professors who have recently had you as a student, what would ''they'' tell me if I asked them the same question about you?
:: To quote an answer to a question further up the page "I'm 51 and I work in scientific publishing, as well as being a widely published poet. I also occasionally teach and give talks on literary subjects." I'm not an academic, and it's been a long time since I was a student. Nowadays, most of my interaction with the academic community is at seminars I get invited to as a practicing poet to discuss my own writing or that of other poets I know a bit about. I can see where you're going with this question, but I do not see that it is relevant to my own situation.

#What are your views on the proposed policy [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Code of Conduct]]? Whether you think it should be a formal policy or not, do you believe you would generally act in accordance with it? What aspects of it do you think should not be there, or to put it another way, are there any proposals there which you can think of good reasons to ignore on a regular basis? (Please date any replies to this question as the proposal may well change over time.)
:: I have commented there and have no problem with the current proposals. I'd kind of welcome it as policy. [[User:Filiocht|Filiocht]] | [[User talk:Filiocht|The kettle's on]] 09:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
If you require any elaboration on my answers, please ask. [[User:Filiocht|Filiocht]] | [[User talk:Filiocht|The kettle's on]] 09:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
