Just the usual problems with any decision making at
Wikipedia. The paradigm
is inherently flawed, and the word consensus is completely abused and given
a non-standard definition at Wikipedia.
Most decisions made on Wikipedia are *not* by consensus, according to the
proper definition.
You don't say.

Usually a majority of discussion participants, or a dedicated group of
individuals, get their way just through force,
persuasiveness, bullying and
wikilawyering. There are even hinderances to broadening discussion, you
might be "canvassing".
No, really?
