After the Gold Rush

[edit]

Hi, You recently reverted my edit on After the Gold Rush, with the album ratings template. However, the template is now known as music rating Majash2020 (talk) 15:15, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you learn about the template's name change, @Majash2020? ProofCreature (talk) 15:30, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you search the template on Wikipedia, it will redirect you to Music ratings. Search "Template:Music ratings". I believe it's a recent change Majash2020 (talk) 17:33, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mercantilism

[edit]

I'm not sure what your intention was with this edit, but you stripped the short description template, image, and entire article lede from the article.-- Ponyobons mots 22:29, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that was entirely a mistake. ProofCreature (talk) 23:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus

[edit]

...conversation continued from here...


I'm curious about your requirements for consensus, statistically, factually. What is an appropriate proportion that validates a consensus? How many and from what common pool is it taken (i.e. what common denominator)?

I don't have any special "requirements"; I just stay open to what I am hearing in a discussion, the strength of the argumentation, and the ability to link that argumentation to the policies and guidelines of the encyclopedia. I'm afraid I cannot reduce it to a tidy little equation of this many statistics plus that many facts minus them there oppositions and expostulations divided by !votes. It's just something that comes with experience here. Mathglot (talk) 21:37, 10
I get it. It explains some comments. It is certainly easier and is not uncommon.
An echo chamber isn't a consensus. It can be difficult to recognize.
Maybe next week I'll research accepted statistics to determine consensus. If I do so I'll relay my findings to you and / or some Wikidedia committee or you could update policies.
This is information I found easily that should have some bearing on a consensus:

A quick evaluation suggests that at the very minimum, to get a consensus with a 10% error possibility Wikipedia should get responses from 86 Administrators.
