[edit] Regarding ConsensusI was just looking at WP:ANI trying to figure out what to do about an editor I'm having troubles with and I noticed a couple of your comments regarding consensus, which is one of the issues with this editor. I'd really appreciate your opinion if you have the time to spare. In late December last year several editors, including me, reached consensus that certain information shouldn't be included in an article because it wasn't notable enough for inclusion. Just recently another editor tried to add the information to the article. I reverted his edits and left a message on his talk page about consensus and directed him to the discussion the article's talk page. His response was to immediately revert the changes and justifies it by claiming that we came to consensus for the wrong reason (notability). I've since directed him to Consensus can change but he refuses to discuss the issue before adding the changes. My interpretation of Consensus can change is that the spirit of the policy, in a nutshell, is this: Editors should not ignore consensus even if they disagree with the reasons for reaching consensus. It's quite acceptable for an editor to try to seek a new consensus but it should be done through discussion and not by arbitrarily deciding that a new consensus has been reached or that the old consensus is no longer valid. Do you think my interpretation is wrong? Regards, --AussieLegend 02:11, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
