Talk:Tinkerbell effect

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This same term is recycled in Alan Moore's Miracleman to describe a sparkling effect that sometimes accompanies MM's superhuman activities. Very likely a knowingly ironic recycling, too, considering Moore's approach to fiction as modern mythology, another thing that exists only for so long as people care to believe in it.

when has the tinkerbell effect ever been used to define the power of the vote? If we can't find a citation for this (or anything else on this page for that matter), then it needs to be deleted. KrewBay 01:36, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe this page should just redirect to self-fulfilling prophecy. -CN

I searched for the word "vote" in the external link mentioned. I didn't find it. http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/MqLJ/2004/7.html . It seems to me that the power to vote as a tinkerbell effect would be a subjective call. jlam 15:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Consensus is dependent upon belief. Another factor, consent, can be compelled through conformity. Pendragon39 (talk) 20:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
