Please read this. You will need consensus on the talk page. You have not developed consensus yet. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:03, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I will create a new RfC for second sentence. Magna19 (talk) 17:10, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doc James - Anything you could do to publicise the second RfC please? Not generating enough editors comments atm. Magna19 (talk) 18:43, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t think that was a real edit war and thanks for your help. We seem to have come to a less unilateral decision(s) —Almaty (talk) 13:57, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Off to work. Will do in 10 hours. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:50, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

such dry humour, eh? See his talk page. —Almaty (talk) 13:59, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do not do that again. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:27, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Magna19,

please vote here to reach a quick consensus and remove the misleading sentence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic#Another_thought

It it much more precise now. We can improve further if you have comments but at least let's make a first step in the right direction!

--Gtoffoletto (talk) 22:24, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, comments added. Magna19 (talk) 23:13, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic#Compromise_of_all_positions for another attempt at broader compromise --Gtoffoletto (talk) 00:19, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gtoffoletto: , quickly change your proposal on the talk page to this: "The virus is mainly spread from one person to another during close contact, via respiratory droplets primarily produced during coughing.” with the following explanation: "This is a compromise between leaving out the ‘primarily’ which therefore mentions coughing as though it’s the only way droplets are formed (per current misleading edit), and the other side which is actually mentioning exhaling and sneezing. This way, the primary method is stated, no secondary methods stated, and the reader knows that other forms of droplet production are possible". We will get consensus on that I think. I'm pinging relevant users now. Magna19 (talk) 00:31, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let's try. --Gtoffoletto (talk) 00:36, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Very good timing. Some users made in private exactly your suggestion pointing out coughing was not included. We might have saved it at the last second. --Gtoffoletto (talk) 00:44, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gtoffoletto: Good stuff, hopefully we'll get some responses coming in soon depending on which time zone people are in. Cheers to you for being among the sensible ones trying to reach a solution. Magna19 (talk) 00:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We failed again. But new strategy. Option 3a has lost consensus. Converge fire on the most promising solutions proposed. Solution 3b is currently 5 support to 1 oppose! Let's all vote for that one or/(as well as) for 6 and sensible resolution which are the most promising and we can get one through! Help me spread this around to other users.--Gtoffoletto (talk) 11:02, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gtoffoletto: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic#Option_3c

It's really (really really really) good to be able to change your mind, but please avoid removing your comments when other people have already replied to them. We normally use <s>...</s> to strike out comments if we want to indicate that we changed our minds about it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:36, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@WhatamIdoing: No change of mind as such, just wanted my messages to be more positive and condensed as I realise they can occasionally give off an argumentative tone. Don't worry, I will strike through anything that I change my mind about. Magna19 (talk) 05:43, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Magna19, Tenryuu from

@Tenryuu: Sure, in return it would be great if you could add your vote to this so we can finally complete the consensus and get the lead changed, thanks in advance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic#Option_3c

 Done. The entire fiasco has become very confusing to navigate but I'm glad my merge request for the sentences got fulfilled. --Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝) 18:50, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for answering my questions for the WikiProject Report! I really appreciate it, and I hope you also had a good time answering. Happy editing! Puddleglum^2.0_{(How's my driving?)} 23:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
