If Proposal: The Wires Behind the Buzzer was not enacted then this proposal has no further effect.

Add a new dynastic rule to the ruleset, called Essays and Citations, with the following text:

As a weekly action, a Drafter may make a Citiation. Making a Citation is an atomic action with the following steps:
* Make a Citation post, which is a post to the blog in the Story Post: Votable Matters category, highlighting a passage from an essay held in the Essays category on the Blognomic wiki that was authored by a Drafter or idle Drafter other than themselves. In the same post, they should distill the passage thus highlighted into a sentence that begins “A Plan should” or “A plan should not”; said sentence should represent a sincere attempt to convey the render the sense of the highlighted passage into a precept that can be legally followed by a Drafter when composing a Plan.
* When the Citation Post can be closed (see below), close it, marking it as Popular or Unpoplar based on the votes cast upon it. If it was Popular at the time that it was closed, add the sentence that it contained to the list of Mandates in the rule Mandates, preceded by an ID number that is not being used by any existing Mandate or any Mandate in the proposal queue.

A Citation Post is open when it is posted and can be closed if it has been open for 48 hours or more. While it is open, it may be voted on, as per the rule Votes.
