In general when a proposal achieves the state where it does not face serious opposition by the majority we consider that a "general agreement". In general votes are given a month or so to go on. It depends on how many votes are casted. The key problem is people are sick and tired of the deletionists-inclusionsist war. It has been going on for about 5 years now. A lot of people are "avoiding the drama" till the dust could settle.
None of this has a fixed rule by the way... So I do not really have an easy answer. It may sound like I am rambling on without providing any answers which would accurately describe how I am right now. Full of questions without any real answers... - White Cat On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 4:00 PM, Marc Riddell <[email protected]>wrote: > on 1/13/09 8:36 AM, White Cat at [email protected] wrote: > > > When consensus is reached the relevant pages are updated accordingly.
