QUOTE [...] Pending Changes will become live on 1 December, 2012. To allow developers enough preparation time, we recommend that community discussion about changes to the draft Pending Changes policy be concluded no later than 1 November, 2012. If the community has not, at that time, reached a consensus about how to change the draft policy, Pending Changes will be implemented according to the terms of the Draft Policy until the community can find a consensus. Wikipedia will be using Pending Changes by December 2012. Below is a hyperlink to the "default" Pending Changes policy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pen...visional_policy What's surprising here is that the Provisional policy (Position #2) only had 61% of the !voters supporting it. That percentage is lower than the usual threshold for consensus. |

"Consensus" means agreeing with the powerful ones.

QUOTE(Fusion @ Mon 25th June 2012, 11:21pm)  "Consensus" means agreeing with the powerful ones. Yes, my worry is that this new policy will make it easier for policemen like AGK to repress content on Wikipedia. This is AGK, a Roman Catholic, trying to stop Joe Decker from editing on the Roman Catholic paedophilia scandals (his obsessive hounding of my associate the "sock puppeteer" Rinpoche no doubt similarly motivated; Rinpoche was blocked (eventually to be banned) because of his rather agressive defence of an article he contributed about sexual abuse in Western Buddhist orders - link is to a WayBack archive of the article): == NOTICE == In this case when we try to check the progress of this naked threat (Joe Decker is a respected editor and administrator), we find the whole episode is revision deleted on AGK's talk page. I do fear we will be seeing a lot more of this kind of thing. |
