<p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[category:Issuepedia/policies]]"[[Issuepedia:Three Strikes|Three Strikes]]" is an editorial policy at [[Issuepedia]] whereby a refutation of the ''first three points'' of another article constitutes a satisfactory refutation of that article's thesis overall.<br />
<br />
A well-written article should raise its strongest arguments first; if it is doing something different (e.g. a "countdown"-style listing), the article should make this clear either explicitly or by using reverse-numbering or some other organizational indicator, and any rebuttal would then need to briefly explain why the points being refuted are the most significant ones.<br />
<br />
This policy is to remove the need for rebuttal writers to spend enormous amounts of time refuting every single point raised by an article, while setting a clear standard which writers of such articles can easily meet (to wit: "your first three points must carry your essential argument").</div>Woozle
