Hi.

Apparently some on Wikipedia think Wikipedia is a democracy. They insist that the individual has to have permission from a majority or super-majority to put something in an article. Fortunately Wikipedia wasn't set up that way and no such policy exists. Thanks Jimbo.


From Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not"

"Wikipedia is not an experiment in democracy or any other political system. Its primary but not exclusive method of determining consensus is through editing and discussion, not voting. Although editors occasionally use straw polls in an attempt to test for consensus, polls or surveys sometimes impede rather than assist discussion. They should be used with caution, and are no more binding than any other consensus decision."
