Revising score for voting
About 5 days ago, I started a thread on the forums at here in which I suggested reducing the score for voting of "specialist supporters" from 3 to 2.
The following users have commented on my proposal in that thread: Hayford Pierce, Drew Smith, Howard Berkowitz, Daniel Mietchen and Peter Schmitt. Neither they nor anyone else objected to reducing the vote score for "specialist supporters". Some of those commentors also suggested that "specialist supporters" be limited to only 1 vote when voting for an article which they created.
Accordingly, I am changing the rules so that "specialist supporters" have a vote score of 1 for articles they created and a vote score of 2 for articles that they did not create. Milton Beychok 20:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC) Milton Beychok 20:46, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
When there hasn't been an update
I think it's more fair to pick an article that might have passed the deadline, than continue featuring an article on the front page. I can be pretty neutral here, because it is my article on think tank that has been continued. I'd rather have seen either the new one I contributed or one of the two others replace it, and to start the voting afresh with a new candidate. Howard C. Berkowitz 16:32, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Did I miss last weeks change over? Because it's still only wednesday where I am. But yes, when I do forget to change it over I agree that an older article would be fine. Drew R. Smith 23:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Regarding rules for new drafts of the week
Since they include developing articles, suggest an exception to the one-time rule in cases where substantial further development has occurred since first posting on Welcome Page, perhaps with explanatory note regarding why the repeat. Anthony.Sebastian 16:20, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
