Jimmy Wales:
"Community-based" means a lot more than
"hold a vote".
Absolutely. A vote must only be held under very rigid, community-centric
conditions which require and reward rational discourse and consensus
seeking. That is to say, the current practice of holding votes
willy-nilly if you can get away with it needs to be stopped, and a
proper framework should be developed instead that is compatible with our
highest ideals.
