== Symmetry breaking in herding behavior ==
 
== Proposed merge from sheeple ==
While I understand what the section is trying to say. (1) it is unsourced (2) It would be extremely unlikely the exactly the same number of people were to exit by both exits! If this phenomenon is true then it needs to be explained statistically and with sources to back up the statistics. -- [[User:Philip Baird Shearer|PBS]] ([[User talk:Philip Baird Shearer|talk]]) 00:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
{{Discussion top|result=To '''merge''' Sheeple into Herd behavior. [[User:Klbrain|Klbrain]] ([[User talk:Klbrain|talk]]) 06:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)}}
Proposing to merge [[sheeple]] into this article. It's a pejorative [[WP:NEO|neologism]] referring to the same subject. Per [[WP:NOPAGE]] it seems relatively straightforward. &mdash; <samp>[[User:Rhododendrites|<span style="font-size:90%;letter-spacing:1px;text-shadow:0px -1px 0px Indigo;">Rhododendrites</span>]] <sup style="font-size:80%;">[[User_talk:Rhododendrites|talk]]</sup></samp> \\ 00:03, 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. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Lyhendq|Lyhendq]] ([[User talk:Lyhendq#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Lyhendq|contribs]]) 07:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== That Thing That Birds Do. ==
 
== Sheeple Suggested edit ==
Where in response to apparently invisible stimuli, an entire mass of birds takes to the sky (seemingly) simultaneously. Is this herd behavior or something else? If its something else, please let me know! [[Special:Contributions/74.128.56.194|74.128.56.194]] ([[User talk:74.128.56.194|talk]]) 11:53, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 
Linking some discussion relevant here:
== Herd Behavior in Economics ==
{{#section-h:Talk:Sheeple/Archives/2017|suggested edit}}
I came to this article searching for a short summary of Herding Behavior theories in Economics. Although is a small subset of "Herding Behavior", it has been widely studied phenomena in the last 25 years. I'm not active in Wikipedia and don't want to be active either, but I can suggest you some references. For example, here in wikipedia you have an article about Informational Cascades, which is a set of models that explain herding behavior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_cascade). You can also review the classical paper of Schaferstein and Jeremy Stein (1990) in American Economic Review. You might want to consult with people working on the Economics Portal.
 
== No Singular Form? ==
Cheers! <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/71.166.154.188|71.166.154.188]] ([[User talk:71.166.154.188|talk]]) 04:20, 26 August 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
From the article...
== Proposed merge with [[Symmetry breaking in herding behavior]] ==
 
The word is pluralia tantum, which means it does not have a singular form.
This article is basically a duplicate of a number of sections from [[Herd behavior]]; additionally, it's too minor of a topic to deserve its own article separate from [[Herd behavior]]. [[User:nneonneo|nneonneo]] <sup>[[User_talk:nneonneo|talk]]</sup> 18:55, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

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? [[User:Zzzwik|Zzzwik]] ([[User talk:Zzzwik|talk]]) 07:25, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
