User blog comment:Schoolbus13/Government proposal/@comment-238087-20110207224703

A rather radical proposal. Personally I believe that a formal government that spans across and governs the wiki would be a welcome change regardless of the outcome; the quality of style and the appeal of the wiki would improve drastically if done correctly. However, inversely, if done horridly it could end up ruining the wiki.

How would we establish who gets to make rules? How long would an individual maintain their position, if it is not permanent? Will we have multiple positions to maintain different functions on this wiki? All of these questions and many more will need to be considered and answered in order to make a wiki-wide government successful. I personally have a few ideas to put forth, but I can wait my turn.
