I haven't followed the discussion at all, but I have two statistical quibbles: First, characterizing a drop from 65 to 59% as a "10% drop" is misleading - while (65-59)/65 is 10%, it's really a 6% drop. Second, A drop from 65% to 59% is not very statistically significant. It could very easily be explained if more of the people who voted against the first time came back for the second vote. But even if both polls are a representative sample of the English Wikipedia as a whole, both polls will have a margin of error of a few percent. Again, this is just a statistical quibble, and I don't really have an opinion on the plan as a whole. -- [[User:Ral315]] _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
