 Article Policy:  Right now this is a weak oppose because, while I have no issue with the proposed changes, I would like something to be added. I really, really, really have issues with the way a lot of users (namely, Deathblade, Milen, and Appel, although I have discussed this with each one of them individually) update warrior pages to reflect planned battles. What has been happening is that a user will update a planned battle accordingly in an infobox, i.e. "Will fight 'whoever'", but they will not put a matching header on the actual page, i.e. ''Battle vs. 'whoever' (by "User:Username"). I really think that if you are planning a battle, you should not only update the infobox, but also'' take the five extra seconds to put a header on the page.

This is mostly important for two reasons: one, if a user goes inactive, we will be aware which battles were planned by them, so they can be removed and freed for active users accordingly. Secondly, if there is any issue at all with a planned battle (be it that the battle has already been done or that it is potentially unfair), it will be very easy to identify who to contact regarding the matter. Granted, as of right now I can always look in the page's edit history, but this process is a pain in the ass that requires me to check edit-by-edit to see exactly when the battle was added to the infobox and who did it.

This change would probably be a subset under Page Criteria.

 User Policy  :   I do think something regarding anonymous user rights should be added, or at least clarified. For instance, anons are obviously not allowed to host battles without an account, but this isn't spelled out in the user policy. Also, there isn't a consistent ruling on whether or not anon votes can/should be counted (and, to be honest, I think this is important, because there's that one anon with the atrocious spelling who absolutely insists on poisoning blogs with his "votes" even though each and every time he's been informed it won't count--at what point does his stubborn insistence qualify as spam?).

With regards to what's already in place, though, I have no issues.

 Battle Policy:  I do think we need a better (read: more modern) image to use as the picture for an "example of a battle." For Tips, perhaps we could add "Use a Title Card" with a link to Arrow's blog that gave step-by-step instructions on how to do so.

 Chat Policy:  I think it's fine as is.

On an unrelated note, it appears that "Sockpuppeting" and "Blog Rezzing" is under every tabber. Is it meant to be on every taber, or is that a copy-and-paste mistake?
