Please read what I wrote, you have quoted it. If I wanted to write "we have voted as" then I would have written just that. I didn't. > If you have no evidence for this claim, say so. Well I do not have the original poll handy but as far as I remember it it was about what we think would be good to have, what to would like to see implemented. I do not remember any question about making it compulsory. Do you? > I would also suggest, more generally, that a strategy of asserting > that consensus was reached wanting the feature, when this is strongly > not the case, is unlikely to convince people - particularly when the > discussion is about strong evidence of consensus *against*. I am not sure what is the point debating this with _me_. (Apart from my person I mean.) I am not German. I am not active on DEWP. I voted for the feature, and I believe it's good to have it. You try to teach a lesson to me about your own troubles, but I really cannot help it. The only thing I can offer my views are the global poll about the feature, and yes, it wasn't a strong concensus. But even it it were I do not think we should change the otherwise very well working method of WMF *not* messing with local projects apart from the very basic principles like the five pillars. This feature isn't *that* important - this is my opinion, please save me from asking a citation. > If you're so sure there's strong consensus in favour of it, I suggest > we run a series of polls, similar to the de:wp poll, which I'm sure > will show that lots of people want the feature. Ironically this was what I was talking about, and what you were rejecting. All I say is that if a local project vote not to use a feature then they shouldn't have to. If you disagree with that one you can simply say it, but do not try (and fail) to describe what I want to convince people about, please. <g> _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
