I see a number of people, not noticing the instructions, are entering opposes--could someone consider moving them to some appropriate place. Alternatively, since in most polls here one can vote for everything one would actually support, not just the favored position, perhaps the instructions should be changed.

I put this poll together in a couple of hours over two days, so I apologize if there is anything confusing. The Opposes should be moved as they confuse the number of votes (I can't do that right now as I'm on my phone). I am hoping that, worst case secenerio, we will total the number of total support some option vs. oppose all to get an idea of if the community should continue pursuing this. For this reason, more than one vote for everyone would lead to a lot of confusion. The few who didn't read the rules can be figured out, based on which they voted for first. I am planning on trying to get a sitenotice for this, and hopefully a lot more people to vote (as opposed to just those who watch noticeboards). Hence the "please don't respond to comments here" line, it'll get huge. I'm not very well-versed in polls here; I based this one on a recent poll on Commons. But if the rules are too confusing, we should change them soon before the poll's too old. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 23:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
