Voting Regulations
|
- Voting is currently open to all registered users.
- All votes must be signed with signatures (type four tildes (~~~~.)) Unsigned votes are automatically negated, regardless of any points made.
- An article will become automatically featured if it receives five (5) valid votes to support it and two (2) days have passed since the nomination.
- After two (2) weeks of being nominated, an article will be featured if it does not have more opposition than support. (this means a tie or zero votes will still result in a feature)
- An article will fail to become featured if it receives five (5) valid oppositions.
- There may be no more than six (6) nominated articles at one time. Do not add any more than this.
- The editor who puts the article up for nomination may not vote on it.
- Please add all oppositions/supports on a new line beginning with a number/pound/hash sign (#) to automatically create an alphanumeric list.
- All votes with comments perceived by the staff as hostile or rude to another user will be removed. Be civil and polite.
- Staff members reserve the right to negate any votes without notification of the voter if they are found to be in violation of any of these rules or if suspected of trolling.

Tornado (January 24th - February 7th, 2022)
It's been nearly a year since the last time an article was featured. Time to change that, I think. I basically picked out this article at random from our list of Good pages, but due to the good referendum, it should be of featured quality. Still wouldn't hurt to check for errors and omissions, however. --Samwell (talk) 21:51, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
