Yes, but if we don't know what the range of opinions is, it'll be rather difficult to say whether there's a consensus. A 'vote' is useful as a straw poll for that, no?
C'est par le consensus que les décisions
devraient
être prises sur Wikipédia. Pas par le vote.
Oui, mais si personne ne sais quelle et la distribution des opinions, ce serait très difficile � dire si existe un consensus. Pour ça, le 'vote' est utile, non?

Yeah sure. As a poll. Not as a decision. Only that is not clear to most internationals.
And...on which basis will we say there is consensus or not ?
When I enter a voting place in France, I know what is the pourcentage required for a proposition to be rejected or not. Here nobody knows, for it has never been discussed through which process the decision would be taken.
What is that way of doing, "voting" without knowing what will be done with the "votes" ???
