::::All that said, I am against assigning a 'magic number' because, as it has been said before, quality of argument far outweighs quantity of votes. I hold that the creation of votes should only be made when less formal moves for consensus fail to reach that consensus, and then should be governed by majority vote in those cases. Why a majority vote? Because during the drive for consensus the threshold for a decision is far above a majority; moving to a vote should only happen when 1) a decision needs to be reached and 2) a consensus cannot be reached otherwise. Since a large enough bloc for consensus wasn't originally possible, it's not reasonable to expect that a vote will be any better, just as it is not good to deadlock on an issue, especially one that needs a timely resolution.

::::As for compromise... I agree that compromise should be our highest priority when in consensus-building. But that is much easier said than done, and I fear that holding a high standard for compromise in all situations will, again, deadlock the decision-making process. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LiR</font>]]^{[[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">speak</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">read</font>]]}''' 23:54, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
