Congratulations to the winners and the participants also ! Further to the ongoing discussions, my idea is as follows :
In this Wikimedia land, a person is the resident of the project s/he/they have most contributed.... No arguments Now the person can chose to be a worker in 'n' number of projects..... The definition of worker must be clearly defined as per certain number of contributions made..... Below that you a tourist...... In this way elections can have votes from residents and tourists....
