{{Civility essay|WP:OFWV}}
{{nutshell|Behaving in an exemplary manner is [[1066 and All That|A Good Thing]]. Even if the example doesn't spread, you'll feel better about yourself. Sign up and spread the word.}}

==Background==
[[File:Conrad von Soest, 'Brillenapostel' (1403) rose-coloured-glasses.jpg|right|upright|200px|thumb|Elderly Wikipedian with rose-tinted spectacles gazing longingly at the original paper copy of the encyclopedia]]
It is quite normal for each generation, as they age, to yearn for the values of the past, in a [[wikt:rose-tinted spectacles|rose-tinted spectacles]] manner. There probably never was a time of Wikipedian harmony, polite collegiality and happiness, but it's nice to think that there was, and to aspire to bring it back.

Some long-term editors have noticed that they've become increasingly grumpy and bad-tempered on Wikipedia. This could be for any number of reasons, but the impact is that they are less happy contributors and the effects become a downward spiral, drawing in more and more grumpy contributors.

By pledging to return to these old-fashioned Wikipedian values, perhaps your example will spread, making the whole environment more pleasant. But even if it does not, you can feel happy about yourself and the contributions you're making. After all, the high ground is a great place to be. But beware the [[wikt:high horse|high horse]]; it can be painful to fall off this animal.

==The pledges==
I will:

# Be unfailingly polite, even to vandals, let alone regulars with whom I disagree.
# Take the mantra of assuming good faith to within a whisker of absurdity.
# Apologise for perceived shortcomings, even on occasions when I think it is barely necessary.
# Welcome other editors pointing out to me when I fail to meet the first three pledges.

* A good thing this is. Those rose-colored glasses are for deciphering the hidden hints, yes? ;-) --[[User:RainerBlome|RainerBlome]] ([[User talk:RainerBlome|talk]]) 08:50, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

* Hear! hear! All in favor of this. Editing Wikipedia should be an enjoyable experience (naive, I know). [[User:JGHowes| JGHowes  ]] [[User talk:JGHowes|''talk'']] 14:14, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
*I may be a relatively new Wikipedian but I am becoming old-fashioned --[[User:Rexh17|Rexh17]] ([[User talk:Rexh17|talk]]) 22:57, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
*I'm in. Good idea. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] ([[User talk:Bduke|talk]]) 01:23, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

* Totally in-line with how I normally operate, so I'm down. Should be required reading for all Wikipedians! I had a thought about "[[Old-fashioned]]" which I will add to the [[Wikipedia_talk:Old-fashioned_Wikipedian_values|talk page]].

*I firmly believe in trying to "bring back" (if it ever was) a temperament of politeness and congeniality. I love the encyclopedia, and I love other people that do too! I try to give out lots of the digital "cookies", "barnstars" and the like... I think there was a sense that we should not "dilute" their meaning by giving out too many, but this seems to me to have turned into not giving out enough! Please give generously to all around you, and I will try to do the same. Happy editing! ♥[[User:Th78blue|Th78blue]] (They/Them/Their • [[User talk:Th78blue|talk)]]♥ 02:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
