== Request Protection == |

After a quick glance at the revision history and considering the controversial and ongoing nature of this subject, don't you think that this page should be protected? (I am admittedly a Misplaced Pages editing n00b, and as such can't request protection status via ])~WarrenSensei 18:56, 17 July 2010 (UTC) --~WarrenSensei 20:17, 4 August 2010 (UTC) |

:Hi! I understand the suggestion, but it probably won't happen immediatley. Here's why: The last protection (actually, it might have been semi-prot) expired just a day or two back, where possible usually policy is to use as limited a protection as necessary to keep vandalism down to a full roar, since even vandalized articles sometimes get good conributions from anonymous IPs. This one might have to go back, but if my guess is that it'll be hard to get the page protected until there's a new cluster of vanadlism. By the way, I'll drop a note on your talk page about how to request page-protection without a lot of hassle. --<font color='#66dd44'>]]</font> 22:52, 17 July 2010 (UTC) |

The article notes that exit polls are not considered reliable, and cites an article as proof. This is not true; exit polls are generally considered the most reliable polls. The article is a Republican-biased web article, citing no research to back up its claims. |

== We should mention the district court decision at the top == |
|
|
|
|
|
The district court overturn should be mentioned in the first or second sentence, rather than at the end of the first section, in order to keep broader summaries nearer the top. The sentence that currently appears at the bottom of the 1st section could be the 2nd sentence, or a shorter version could be used, there] (]) 15:01, 5 August 2010 (UTC): |

United States district court Judge Vaughn Walker overturned Proposition 8 on August 4, 2010 in the case Perry v. Schwarzenegger. Judge Walker issued an injunction against enforcing Proposition 8 and a stay to determine suspension of his ruling pending appeal. |

] should be added to the "See also" section. --] (]) 20:32, 5 August 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
:No, for two reasons. First, we try to keep 'see also' sections tightly focussed on a limited number of highly relevant articles - the 'Tyranny' article is too tangential. Second, linking to that particular article implies a particular POV regarding Prop 8. ] (]) 23:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC) |
|
|
::The article, and the term, describe not so much the phenomenon whereby the majority makes a decision that is adverse and unfair to a minority, but rather a criticism of an inherent feature or limitation in the voting / democratic process, whereby such outcomes occur. If we just mean to say that the public enacted a mean-spirited law that unfairly hurt same-sex couples who, by virtue of being marginalized and few in numbers, lacked the votes to defend themselves, I think we could say so directly (and perhaps more neutrally than I pose it) without invoking this more abstract critique of the democratic process. But I don't think people conceive the issue here as will of the people versus tyranny of the majority so much as laws enforcing older social norms versus gay rights. If they do, and we can source it, it would make sense to work that into the text of the article in an appropriate section describing public perception and critiques of the issue. This comes up as a legal issue as well. The district judge, in the closing paragraph of one section of the opinion, referred to the limits the US Constitution places on the sorts of matters that may be decided by state action or popular vote, versus claims of judicial activism, will of the voters, etc. This will surely be picked up by the media if it has not already, and if it gets sufficient coverage it could be worked into an appropriate sentence describing the legal rationale and reaction to the decision. However, that may never satisfy ] concerns, because this article is about the whole history of the proposition and not just this one ruling. Assuming the case plays out in the US Supreme Court, the case itself will probably get its own article someday, and if there is enough discussion of the "tyranny" issue, namely, does the public get to vote on who can get married, then it could be part of that article. But Hamiltonstone is spot-on, we don't use the "see also" section to link to the general issues that the article raises, it's a tightly focused and small list of links to things directly related to the article content. And the tyranny critique takes one side of a two-sided issue. - ] (]) 00:00, 6 August 2010 (UTC) |

:::"And the tyranny critique takes one side of a two-sided issue." Very true - There is such a thing as tyranny '''from''' a minority or an elite. So I agree that it should '''not''' be added to any see also section.] (]) 23:47, 12 August 2010 (UTC) |

::: I strongly agree with ] that this should be mentioned in the article. If not then all articles which expicitly reference politians/judges according to their religious affiliations/beliefs in connection to policy decisions / legislative decisions would also need to be altered. It is easier therefore to include the fact that is quoted above, than to have to trawl every other article to remove other references. Not to mention it would imply that bias only exists on one side of the discussion. ] (]) 22:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC) |
