To merge Sheeple into Herd behavior. Klbrain (talk) 06:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposing to merge sheeple into this article. It's a pejorative neologism referring to the same subject. Per WP:NOPAGE it seems relatively straightforward. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

• Support as proposer — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
• Support. When we remove the original research and primary sources [4], [5] and [7] it will not lend undue weight to this article. wumbolo ^^^ 08:33, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Wiki wrong, no such thing as herd instinct or leader or crowd psyx etc. One can lead oneself, crowd etc or not doesn't matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyhendq (talk • contribs) 07:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Sheeple Suggested edit

Linking some discussion relevant here: I can't seem to edit this but I noticed while reading Finnegans Wake (published 1939) that he used the term "sheeples" - I decided to check if he was credited for first use. He doesn't appear to be. Perhaps it's an arguable case but I do think it is notable to note. FinnegansWiki (talk) 09:04, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

No Singular Form?

From the article...

The word is pluralia tantum, which means it does not have a singular form.

From me...

There is the term, sheeperson.

There also being a plural form of that term, sheepersons.

What's the difference between herd bahaior and conformation?

There's also an article conformation. I don't know what's the main difference between this article and that? Zzzwik (talk) 07:25, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
