 ::: As you might already know, the discussion on the Talk: Race (human classification) page has become heated again, with editors having very different views on what the lead definition should be. I have tried really hard to reach out to another longtime editor but I have not been successful. I'm not claiming that the views of one editor trumps another. But I do want to express my concern that once the protection status of that page has been lifted, there might be potential edit conflicts. I really don't think this is productive and I really believe consensus is important so that any major edit would be lasting. My view on the matter is that at a minimum, there should be an RfC or similar, and that no edits should be done until consensus is reached. Ideally, more editors should be involved in the discussions. I welcome any advice you might have on this matter. Thanks.
