Wikipedia information page
Consensus
is Wikipedia's
fundamental model
for editorial decision-making: when it doesn't work, nothing else does either.
In situations involving consensus:
DO:
Be familiar with relevant
policies, guidelines
,
and
past discussions
Follow the
BOLD, revert, discuss cycle
Challenge
consensus at the
right venue(s)
Neutrally
ask for
more opinions
when needed
Take intractable disputes to the right
dispute resolution
process
DON'T:
Don't
pretend a consensus you disagree with
doesn't exist
!
Don't
use
local consensus
to ignore wider consensus
Don't
close
contentious discussions that you
participated in
Don't
canvass
for support of your position
Don't
use
tendentious editing
to get your way
