Welsh Government

Hi Tralban, I see you have an interest in the government of Wales. Nice to see you there. Few editors seem to have the time and inclination to improve those articles. Edits adding to or generally improving articles don't normally need to have Talkpage consensus. Usually, you only need to gain consensus if an edit is likely to be controversial. I have no objections to any of the suggestions you've made that I've seen on Talkpages so far. If you receive no response it could be that editors haven't yet seen your note, are not sure of the changes you propose, or that they have no objections. You can either 1) wait for a response, 2) note on the Talkpage that no objections have been received and make the changes or 3) make your changes to the article per WP:BOLD. If you choose 2 or 3 you will discover you don't have consensus for the change soon enough if it is reverted – known as WP:BRD (the bold, revert, discuss cycle). If there's anything you're not sure of and you think I may be able to help, please feel free to drop me a note on my Talkpage. If I don't know, I'll probably know someone who does. Best, Daicaregos (talk) 14:17, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
