[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #14 from [email protected] 2012-10-17 07:43:04 UTC --- In order to ensure that this process does not end up as a simple straw poll, the organizers set up the process to be as formal as a Request for Adminship [1] vote would be, namely: * the vote had a fixed opening and closing date, and was open for 10 days (longer than a 7-day RfA vote) * the eligibility to vote was set to be same as a RfA vote [2] * the proposal required a 75 % majority of participants (which was well met) * the voting was done on Idobata, was posted on WP:NEWS [3] ten days before the voting started, and was on MediaWiki:Sitenotice for the whole duration of the voting period [4]. In my opinion, all of this process would make the proposal as "official" as it could be. Tanuki47 seems to be concerned about the fact that the voting took place in Idobata, but "井戸端 (Idobata)" literally means "beside the well" [5] which is almost a direct translation of "village pump", and one can clearly see that the corresponding page [6] is jawiki's equivalent of Village Pump in enwiki. Although I understand that the page title *sounds* unofficial, it is no more and no less as official as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VPR would be. The Idobata is intended as a place for proposals and discussions in the first place, as is clearly stated on top of the page [6]. On a further note, I would like to add in response to Tanuki47 that abstention from voting is not an opposition. [1] http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RfA [2] To ensure that a voter is an active participant in the project, a voter should have made their first edit at least a month before the proposal started; AND should have edited the article namespace for at least 50 times overall and 5 times within a month before the proposal.
