→‎Falling!: the consensus is "most important," but nobody knows what that means
Linea 359:
::::::Onward and upward! It is a moving target, though; there's a lot of discussion around the list at Meta right now and more things might end up changing. [[Usor:Amahoney|A. Mahoney]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Amahoney|disputatio]]) 12:32, 10 Maii 2021 (UTC)
:::::::Uh-oh. This bears watching! Despite a presumption of goodwill, the enterprise can't reconcile two questions: should the lists contain the most important topics in the world? or should they contain the items that people are the likeliest to look up? If the former, many of those who get to choose the items are less than fully competent to do so; if the latter, the included items can be determined by empirical evidence and will almost certainly exclude items that experts would include in the former. Oh well. [[Usor:IacobusAmor|IacobusAmor]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:IacobusAmor|disputatio]]) 13:19, 10 Maii 2021 (UTC)
::::::::I don't think anyone at Meta is thinking about "what people are likely to look up." The dispute seems to be about what is "most important" -- and there's no agreement about what they should be important for, or whom they should be important to. General sense that whatever affects the writer is more important than anything else, so for example there's a push to replace some other infectious disease or epidemic with Covid-19 because obviously that's the most important epidemic ever, simply because it's the one the Meta commentators know about. This is one of the drawbacks of crowd-sourcing, though, as we all know. [[Usor:Amahoney|A. Mahoney]] ([[Disputatio Usoris:Amahoney|disputatio]]) 18:07, 10 Maii 2021 (UTC)
