• Just a quick comment: Not so sure if vote stacking is such a grand idea. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 00:46, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

  I could envision it being a problem if there was voting against, but I think it will be an interesting experience for all of us. Ultimately the end result is having articles refeatured which will be awsome no matter what articles are chosen. But I can understand your hesitation: if for whatever reason it becomes clear that this was a stupid idea, we can revise the rule. --ShabiDOO 00:56, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

  Just a bit of a worry, since there's so many articles to choose from, that stacking both your votes could leave some worthy articles less voteful than they would normally be. How about, you can stack at most 2 votes, but everyone has 3 total? -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​UU​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 01:02, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

  The system here is called voting at large (or however you call it in english). Its designed to pick multiple representatives out of a group. One has as many votes as representatives which will be chosen and they can do whatever they like with those votes. It works in many sectors (boards, political representatives, NGOs and so on). Why don't we give this a try? Im also planning on making a retro week home page, which will show feature articles that didnt get quite enough votes to be featured, but should still be hilighted. Lets see how it all turns out. --ShabiDOO 01:09, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

  Yeah...you idea is actually a good one. --ShabiDOO 01:13, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

• Can I arbitrarily add List of one letter words starting with A? It was an unforgivable oversight on my part. I know the answer is probably "doi, no", but I'll ask anyway. ~ BB ~ (T) ~ Mon, Jul 16 '12 17:05 (UTC)
