Consensus decision-making rewrite coming soon

howdy . you're getting this message because you have made a meaningful contribution to Consensus decision-making in the last couple of months. This note is to inform you that i have done a complete rewrite of the article, basically from the ground up, and will be installing the rewrite sometime after 22:00 mst (gmt -7)

i decided to undertake this rewrite because the current article had some notable shortcomings in my opinion, most notably:

• lack of references: whole sections of the current article are unreferenced
• section balance: the amount of detail on some sections was out of step with the detail level on other sections. for instance 'timing' is as large as 'key principles'
• run-on writing: some sections succumb to rambling, while other sections are quite concise to the point of being terse.

all of these problems are inevitable in a project written by a group of people with different areas of expertise and writing styles.

my rewrite is designed to address these issues. most notably i have aimed to make the article more concise -- put more content in less words as it were -- and to make sure that everything is effectively sourced. i have also pretty much completely re-sectioned the article in an attempt to flow from general down to specific.

i have given this notice to you as a 'heads up' that this change is coming. i realize that you have invested a lot of effort into the existing article and i want to make sure that you are ready to make the edits you feel are necessary once my rewrite goes 'live'.

i also intend to submit the new article for peer review shortly after posting it. i think that the feedback will help us all drive this piece forward, hopefully to at least ga status! -- frymaster 23:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I've finished a rough script per your request; try it and let me know how it works. :) Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:06, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot that you might not know how to install user scripts; I've left instructions at the VPT thread. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:20, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Documentation page?

Hi, Randy, it's not that big a deal, but please don't write documentation for the scripts in my userspace, especially without telling me. I'm not a fan of that. Thanks. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 04:58, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Writ Keeper. I'm sorry, I was trying to be helpful, but after I wrote that documentation and posted it, I realized that it was your space and I was probably intruding. I'm still new to this environment and haven't learned the etiquette of how to do these things properly. I guess I should have written a note in your user space to let you know or sent an email. Or now I realize I should have just sent you an email with my suggestion. Again, I am very sorry. Randy Schutt (talk) 10:35, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Like I said, don't worry about it; it's not a big deal. :) Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 14:11, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Randy, I would like to talk to you about judicial ideologies. Might you email me at NLG64 at mindspring dot com? Thanks --Ngeorgak (talk) 13:01, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Law clerks, again.

Hi Randy, can you have a quick look at Talk:List_of_law_clerks_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States#List converted into one gigantic sortable table and thereafter User:The_Original_Filfi/sandbox as this is your work and I can see it was quite involved, I do not want to proceed without at least some agreement
Kind regards
The Original Filfi (talk) 00:32, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi again Randy, as you can tell I give up easily and have trouble following things through, lol
I have, I think the best solution so far, will it pass the test? not sure, but here I go.

1. Please review User:The_Original_Filfi/sandbox for some dummy data, in the wrong format, this can be addressed going forward, and then;
2. Please review User:The_Original_Filfi/sandbox2 for the same dummy data, also in the wrong format, this can be addressed going forward, and then;
3. Please review User:The_Original_Filfi/sandbox3 for transclusions of above, also in the wrong format as this was carried from above.

Your thoughts, this (reformatted to include court no, justice etc.) should meet all requirements, unless I have missed something, if so please advise and we can try to address.
Kind regards

Talk page of article

I replied to you before your revert on talk page but you haven't replied. I don't know when I can expect a reply from you so I am going to keep editing - is it ok if we use the content for a new article? Nothing that can be cited will be deleted. Antignomi (talk) 12:59, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I told you I am working on the article and you keep stupidly restoring unsourced content to the article. There is no way that content is staying in there. Why don't you stop? Antignomi (talk) 18:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
