Below are a couple of suggested amendments to explain a little better what is involved in a World Café discussion.
The following could be added to the end of the first paragraph:

Combine with Knowledge Cafe

Knowledge Cafe and World Cafe are the same thing. There isn't need for two articles.

Conflict of interest

At least one major contributor to this article has declared a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus has a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:43, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of information re how World Café events work

Below are a couple of suggested amendments to explain a little better what is involved in a World Café discussion. The following could be added to the end of the first paragraph:

Although pre-defined questions are agreed at the beginning, outcomes or solutions are not decided in advance.[1][2] An underlying assumption of World Café events is that collective discussion can shift people's conceptions and encourage collective action.[3]

The next part indicates the number of people involved, as well as the largest number of participants at a single event. It finishes by including references to organisations that have used World Café events, although avoids specifying who these were, which was a previous criticism of the article:

World Café events require at least twelve participants, but there is no upper limit. The largest number of people documented at a single World Cafe event was in excess of 10,000, in Tel Aviv, in 2011.[4]
World Cafés have been used by a range of organizations.[5][6][7][8] Fbell74 (talk) 08:12, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
