| == Infobox decisions == | |||
| Hi Blofeld, although I'd love to see more ways in which visitors could control the presentation of articles for themselves, most of our readers are not registered and therefore do not have access to preferences. We'd have to have a different system for allowing them to store things like "display/no display of infoboxes". | |||
| I was, however, dismayed by the {{diff2|594423990|second part of this comment of yours}}: {{tq|It's just everytime we have an article on the main page this "why doesn't it have an infobox" argument breaks out, when have decided it's up to the article writers to decide and they're not compulsory.}} | |||
| I believe you have fundamentally misunderstood the ArbCom Finding of fact, {{tq|"Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through ] at each individual article."}} The "editors at each individual article" - especially when linked to WP:CON - cannot be restricted solely to those who have edited the article previously. It is a fundamental contradiction of the wiki-way of doing things, particularly achieving consensus, and no editor should be trying to ring-fence an article from other opinions. | |||
| If you agree that you were wrong in your interpretation of that ArbCom decision, then I'd like you to make a clear statement at the Hattie Jacques talk page indicating that; and I'd like you to alert ] that you accept that he has a right to comment and seek a consensus for his views on that page. --] (]) 17:00, 8 February 2014 (UTC) | |||
| Deary me ], are we still going on about this? You misinterpreted me actually, I'm not mistaken in my interpretation, I am well aware that the arb were pretty vague with how consensus is decided and that potentially several hundred people could comment on having an infobox issue to come to a true consensus, but in practice the decision to use an infobox really is generally decided by discussion and consensus between a small group people who have written the article in question and I'm sure the arb would acknowledge this. It isn't practical to request hundreds even dozens of editors to comment on one infobox in every article. The three of us as normal came to the decision ''not'' to use an infobox, that's consensus, just not wider consensus. Mr Danny has the right to say whatever he likes, it is just disrespectful to editors who bother to promote articles and have to deal with this sort of thing every time an article hits the main page and if you can't see that then you're lacking a sensitivity chip. ♦ ] 17:02, 8 February 2014 (UTC) | |||
