User talk:Douginamug/Draft:Quaker decision-making

Likely useful source

@Douginamug: (pinging because I'm not sure if subpages like this give notifs for users, sorry if this ends up double-notifying you)!

A likely useful book to use as a source for this article is Beyond Majority Rule: Voteless Decisions in the Religious Society of Friends by Michael J. Sheeran (ISBN 0941308049). I'll review my copy in order to help with this but you might be able to find a copy too. I'll add any suggestions to this talk page, unless you'd prefer I edit the draft directly. --Equivamp - talk 02:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Equivamp: Thanks for pinging! I'm relatively new here, and distrust the reliability of notifications already: I ping everyone.

Yes, I found Sheeran's work referenced in Consensus decision-making and as a main reference in the book I'm reading right now "The Origins of Collective Decision Making" by Andy Blunden which makes interesting reading. I managed to find a copy of Sheeran's work on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/beyondmajorityru00shee I've 'loaned it' for free for 14 days... I wonder if I can re-loan immediately afterwards? In any case, not as nice as having a physical copy, and I think it might be worth getting one.

As for working, I'm really glad you're interested! I'm happy to try any working style: this is the first time I would be actively collaborating (not just doing independent, solo edits.) So I leave it to you where and how. Looking at your stated interests, I think you have more knowledge on the topic than I do regarding history. For example, I read somewhere that perhaps even the anabaptists had something even earlier, and if true, that might be worth mentioning. DougInAMugtalk 17:04, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Equivamp: I just moved this to article space → Quaker decision-making. Very happy for feedback/edits DougInAMugtalk 14:22, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pintoch: Hey, I went bold and moved it article-space! → Quaker decision-making DougInAMugtalk 14:21, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DougInAMug: ah thanks, of course I forgot to ping my friend again >_< Great work! − Pintoch (talk) 13:45, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
