Alrighty, it's go time. Let's try to get this cleaned up by Monday so the competition can begin. This is an attempt to finalize public opinion on which categories should be in the upcoming Poo Lit Surprise. We're going to 5 Categories this year, and I think it'd be best to keep the 4 we've had so far, just for consistency's sake. We can always switch 'em next time if we feel the need. So basically this vote is for what the 5th Article Category should be. My personal preference, and I think we should go with, is Best Alternate Namespace, that is, best article with something in front of it, say UnNews, UnScript, UnPoetia, UnTunes, whatever. But I want a little bit of public opinion before making my final decision, so shoot. I want get this settled by the end of Sunday so we can get this deal rolling on Monday. So here it is, go forth and vote for the final category. Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 03:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

In order to save some header space, I'll discuss my reasoning here, as to why I support the Best Alternate Namespace idea. I think this is the best because, after having talked it over with some people, it seems like the least restrictive, most creative category currently on the table. I would really like to see stuff like UnPoetia in the PLS, and this seems like a good way to do it. We need more content from the obscure namespaces, and this might help us grow a sector of the site that isn't that large right now. So that's why I really like this idea, and I hope you do too.

I second that. After discussing things in the chatroom, I do feel that an alternative namespace category would be best so as to promote things like UnPoetia, UnNews, and other namespaces and to give them an opportunity to enter. I'd prefer this over style and topic-specific categories like "Best First Person Article" or "Best Article About A Historical Event". My only concern is that UnPoetia or UnNews may not be able to compete against an article in the UnBook, HowTo, or Why? namespace. But I have faith in whoever will be judging that category, and I think this would be best. --EMC^[TALK] 03:53, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I think that e|m|c's concerns, while not unfounded, are not going to be problematic. I say this because, in our history, the two most favored articles for feature have been from UnPoetia and Why?.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 20:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Good point. --EMC^[TALK] 20:40, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Woo! Why? namespace, you go girl. —Braydie 00:32, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Bitch, just step off!

Aside from the obvious Best Article by Mhaille, you've missed out the No Fifth Category option. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

I've took the liberty of making that decision already, as I received on objections to it that I can recall. Sir ENeGMA (talk) GUN WotM PLS 00:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, Most Mediocre Article. --The Acceptable
