Darkoneko <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #12 from Darkoneko <[email protected]> 2012-03-17 07:22:05 UTC --- this is a bit irritating. The current situation looks like this to me : frwiki's community (support side) -as the 3rd biggest Wikipedia, frwiki possesses thousands of active editors + a number of sysops and bureaucrats that ensures that no lone dictator may emerge [1] -the same request was previously accepted for the similar enwiki (bug 18390) mid-2011. No adverse effects have been reported about it. -the maturation process had an adequate duration (a month, not counting the various discussion on the village pump forehand), was followed by a community vote of adequate duration (3 weeks), and finally rated by a very comfortable majority (82%) of an adequate number of voters (over a hundred) Nemo_bis (oppose side) -claims it's against consensus (silent majority, the things people tries to make you say...) -require consensus from meta (...) -main example of potential abuse : hiwiki -- hiwiki might have over 100k articles, but most have been created by bots. Its community consist of barely a few dozen editors [2]. This wiki's situation cannot and must NOT be compared to wikis like frwiki or enwiki. -while attempting to block everything, refuse to open the RfC process and instead require its opponents do the work. ----------------- now then : -Nemo_bis, I am painfully aware you're doing this in good faith -I too agree that, following hiwiki's incident, guidelines will have to be discussed to avoid similar issues -But this is no reason to block a no-brainer request like the current one if you want that RfC to happen, take the matter into your own hand and open it yourself.
