To-do list for Consensus decision-making:

On 14 September 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Consensus. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
There is a separate, short, article on consensus to contain definitions of consensus from computer science, and give a short overview with examples to those not interested in the decision making implications. If that structure is clunky, then the title 'consensus' should be used for all of this material, resulting in a very long article that would have to cover both technical and poltical uses of the term. probably undesirable. A proposal to merge the two articles was discussed in May 2006 (see Archive 1). The result was No merge.
Hello! I have been working on History section for this article in my personal space for some weeks. Today I felt finally ready to boldly add it to the article: /info/en/?search=Consensus_decision-making#History
I'm interested to hear what people think. I have leaned quite heavily on The origins of collective decision making by Andy Blunden and Anarchism and the Movement for a New Society by Andrew Cornell.
I hope this contribution is seen as useful, and that it might precipitate further improvements to the article. For now I'll remove the 2 history related 'To-dos' from this Talk page :) DougInAMug talk 22:30, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
Despite similar practices being observed in different cultures throughout history", because that read to me as synthesis. Apologies if I was a bit too blunt with my changes, I appreciate the work you've done here and elsewhere. -- Grnrchst ( talk) 18:14, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
The heading "Blocking" explains pretty much every step in the flow-chart *other than* blocking, although it dances around what blocking is by describing various ways to avoid it. Should the heading be changed? Or should the bulleted list be expanded to describe the blocking action in the flowchart? 2620:15C:2D3:205:A6D6:D3D0:9CE2:2EE6 ( talk) 20:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Consensus decision-making → Consensus – Given that Consensus already redirects here, and that Consensus (disambiguation) exists, I would like to seek "consensus" on whether we should move the article on Consensus decision-making to Consensus (sorry for all the puns). I'm convinced that consensus is a more WP:CONCISE title while making minimal noticeable sacrifices to WP:PRECISE. InvadingInvader ( userpage, talk) 16:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I just stumbled upon an interesting reference to this article. In 2018, the creator and "Benevolent Dictator for Life" of Python (computer language), Guido van Rossum, retired. Later that year, the community gathered to vote on a new governance system. In
Python Enhancement Proposal 8001, they choice to use the Condorcet method with one of three points of reasoning being "2. It is
consensus decision-making", linking to this article. However, the #Condorcet_Consensus
section no longer exists on this article, nor any reference to Condorcet!
I just wanted to share this, motivates me to improve this article further, and hopefully others. DougInAMug talk 12:15, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
