Wikipedia and neural ensembles
Well intentioned maybe, but clearly original research. gren グレン 22:22, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep There is nothing original in this article. It only explains findings of neuroscientists who showed that large number of 'noisy' contributors can produce good information. Wikipedia uses the same principle.  Many of the Neuroscience results are from the 1980s, and the principle of Wikipedia is common knowledge.  References are provided.  You are welcome to revise the article to make it sound less 'original'. (Unsigned by 24.163.65.156)
 * Comment. The article is about brain research with references to that. No references to sources like: Researchers have concluded that WP works like neural ensembles. Words like: appears to, common knowledge are not convincing, expressed by gren: Well intentioned maybe, but clearly original research. Original research is very hard to rewrite, since it contains assumptions and no/very little/very new research. Still the article is well written, so consider moving the appropriate parts to other articles. feydey 23:48, 12 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete, per WP:NOR, clearly a novel interpretation, sorry. I'd like to see it in the wikipedia namespace or as a user page. Kappa 00:24, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * MOVED UPON CONSENSUS I've moved this text to neural ensemble and deleted most of the comparisons to Wikipedia (which are obvious, not original at all) except one.
 * No vote, but I don't really see evidence of a consensus of any kind here. --Jacquelyn Marie 04:14, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * By 'consensus'I meant the desire expressed by several experts not to have this article linked directly to Wikipedia.
 * Delete as original research. -- Kjkolb 15:16, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
