A sham consensus is either a false consensus or a wrongful consensus, or both. In general, a false consensus is in violation of an ArbCom decision and a wrongful consensus is in violation of a policy or guideline. A sham consensus includes an absence of a consensus where the absence has the same cause as a false or wrongful consensus. Discussion in here to a sham consensus includes the absence of a consensus because of such a cause.
This material seems legitimate, but it's hard to understand exactly what's being said. Is the false/wrongful division a natural dichotomy, or is the point of the essay? "Discussion in here" - should that say something like, "For the purposes of this essay..."? Anyway, I suggest giving this essay some serious editing for clarity. 2602:306:C5B4:E3D0:8DC4:BB80:568F:2021 ( talk) 09:00, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
