In Wikidata, we should embrace Ranking much more. I have seen this powerful feature, just simply forgotten, even by admins, actually especially by admins and moderators.
Help:Ranking - Wikidatahttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Ranking
Instead of arguing, disagreeing on subclassifying, property statements, and trying to represent the world into a single view - typically our own. Ranking was made available so that we can represent MANY views and capture the subtle differences between our lives, experiences, and personal knowledge. We all (especially admins!) need to remember this powerful feature, instead of quickly just assuming and reverting useful statements... only to limit our knowledge to a single view. Instead of reverting, ASK, consider someone's personal knowledge, then simply apply "preferred rank" to bring some consensus, but let alternative views live at "normal rank". 🙂
Ranking Matters.
