Second Person POV
There are many pages (such as the function pages) that are purely there for instructional purposes (though they are not tutorials), would it not be okay to use the second person there. For example you can not have more than one ini file open at once. I think it's nicer to read and connects more with the reader thus making them more likely to remember. On Wikipedia almost everything is purely information, but a far higher percentage of pages are instructional here. I don't think a ban on the second person is necessary here. --Timoi 21:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. In instructional articles, referring to the reader in Second Person POV is acceptable - and, in many cases, beneficial. --Eyas Sharaiha 17:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've switched the bullet points refering to the second person POV around so they now go in order of importance. This is because there's more cases where bullet point 3 (now 2) is applicable, I think it gives a better impression to the reader. Subtle but effective I think :) --Timoi 17:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
