Club Penguin Wiki:Vote Page

The Wiki's Vote Page is made to hold all kinds of votes.

When a vote is held, you will be allowed to sign your username, using four tildes ~

Each vote will be published in this way:

 (0)

 * Suggested by and confirmed by

Comments
Nominee Notice: After being nominated, you can enter reasons on why you should be nominated next to the "nomination sentence". A vote closes when 14 days is up. The vote difference is calculated by the number of votes "for" subtracted by the number "against". The user option with the most vote differences wins.

Voter Notice: You must vote in either "For" or "Against". If you vote in for, you have to sign underneath the "For" heading. To do this you have to type this in:

#~

After you have signed it, you must change the number in the brackets up by 1. (e.g if it was at 3, it means 3 people have already signed it. Change it to 4 when you sign it.) This is also the same with the number by their name. If you vote for, you must also increase the number beside his or her name by 1.

Please remember to use "#" instead of the usual "*", because it numbers the votes making it easier to count them.

You can also remove your vote. If in any case you change your mind, do not remove your vote completely, just strike it out and move it to the back of the list.

Please discuss with an administrator before creating a new vote!

Decreasing the amount of edits needed to be qualified for POTM (+4)

 * Suggested by Chriskim98 and confirmed by Kallie Jo

I've noticed that the same people get nominated for POTM due to the fact that you must have 100 edits to qualify in the POTM vote. I was thinking of lowering the amount of edits to 50-80 edits depending on administration. Reasons why? 1. There are not a lot of things to edit anymore. 2. Shouldn't POTM also be about people helping the community of this wiki instead of the wiki? There could be someone that helps the community, is nice, etc but doesn't meet the 100 edits qualification. 3. I also once saw and experienced that a couple of users were on the POTM list. They were all removed due to not having 100 edits. At one point they might be so glad that they're nominated. Until the next couple minutes they're removed for not having enough edits.

 * 50 mainspace edits in the last 30 days sounds reasonable. -- 02:46, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's really pathetic. POTM is about making a lot of qualitative and quantitative edits AND helping the community. Simply decreasing the amount of edits needed to be POTM is going to lower our standards. There are PLENTY of articles to edit. There are heaps of pages not having images, heaps of pages needing sources, heaps of pages being stubs, and soon there will be heaps of character articles to reformat with the new infoboxes. How is there not much to edit? Simply lowering the amount of mainspace edits needed to be qualified for POTM is lowering our standards. We don't allow that. Also, all POTM nominees are EXPECTED to have helped out the community. Helping out the community takes initiative and is common sense, and serves simply as supplementary criteria to be awarded as POTM. Being awarded for POTM for mostly "helping out the community" is just pathetic because that gives the sense that you're giving rewards for "following the Policy". POTM is about making IMPROVEMENTS to the wiki. Improvements in behavior is one thing, but not sufficient to meet the criteria for POTM, because we all expect people to have good behavior. Like I said, I don't want any lowering of standards here. This is a wiki and its central purpose is to provide information, and therefore users that add a sufficient number of improvements to articles (100 in a month) should only deserve to become POTM. We can not have our users that worked hard to edit pages who became a POTM, and now users who worked less and became a POTM. That is obviously unfair. This wiki is a wiki for information about Club Penguin. We need people to provide that information. And only the ones that have significantly provided that information can meet the standard. <div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial;display:inline-block;background:linear-gradient(to top, #09B2B2, #8CFFFF 10%, #E6FFFF 90%, #FFFFFF);padding:0 10px;border-radius:5px;"> ~ Perapin   (Contact)   05:41, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm with you on the editing part. "There are not a lot of things to edit" isn't really a valid excuse. Just take a look at how many pages are stubs and need expanding. However, while you make some valid points there, the POTM vote is "to decide which user has made the most significant improvements that month." It doesn't state that the improvements have to be in terms of editing mainspace articles. For example, a user could replace many low quality images with high quality images, and that would improve the visuals of articles. However, that would count towards edits made in the file namespace. -- 06:05, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * You make another fantastic point Hey.youcp! I forgot to mention about that. :) <div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial;display:inline-block;background:linear-gradient(to top, #09B2B2, #8CFFFF 10%, #E6FFFF 90%, #FFFFFF);padding:0 10px;border-radius:5px;"> ~ Perapin   (Contact)   06:08, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I can understand why you're against this vote. I think the POTM is a bit biased anyway. It currently says that users have to have "100 or more mainspace edits in the last 30 days" to be nominated, which implies that only mainspace edits count as improvements. However, take a look at the new character infobox you suggested for character articles. That should be considered an improvement, but it would only count towards edits made in the template, Club Penguin Wiki/project (this vote page), and user (since you first created it in a user subpage) namespaces. That's why I think the best option would be to decrease the amount of mainspace edits needed, or remove the requirement entirely and leave it up for the users to decide who has made the most improvements for the month. -- 06:49, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

 * Perhaps the system does need tweaking a little bit for template edits and image re-uploads (I do not know if we can code that into our wiki, though); but lessening it to 80 to 50 edits a month is not really that big of a difference (even though those were only the beginning of the offer), it seems fairly pointless: everyone should be able to contribute in several ways/shape or form - with the addition on blogs what have become such a big part in the wiki it is fairly easy to improve blog-wise (or even comment/forum-post your ideas for improvement) lowering the requirement seems to me to make it a little 'too easy'. -- Roger6881  (talk)   13:04, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Contribution to the wiki is not just about editing, it's about behind-the-scenes work, being friendly, and being a positive influence on the wiki. The edit requirements discourage non-editing contribution, and often cause minor, needless edits to put oneself in contention for PoTM. -- THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS RETURNED!!!!!

Rollback + Patroller Editing Rule Change (+4)

 * Suggested by Callum Fawsitt and confirmed by Roger6881

As you know both Rollbacks and Patrollers have a 2 week maximum inactivity limit before they will be demoted. I checked the Rollbacks and Patroller contributions and I have discovered that a few of them maybe one or two are mainly making blog comments and user talk edits which is not really helping the Wiki much. I think there should be a limit of 2 weeks to have to make a mainspace edit before a demotion.

 * He has abused his rights many times, he is greedy for more promotions, he tried people getting demoted so he himself could be promoted. He also lied to admin numerous times. He was a chat mod and a rollback once, and he is demoted permanently now. I think he shouldn't be given another chance. He had 2 chances, 3 strikes.

 * This idea is good. It can make sure that inactive Rollbacks + Patrollers are still contributing to the wiki while they are away. And also what Hey.you said, it isn't that hard to make one mainspace edit every 2 weeks. F u r r y H a m s t e r 0 3  Puffle 2014 Transformation Player Card Rainbow.png  04:08, August 7, 2014 (UTC)

Politics (+7)

 * Suggested by Wolf-gangs

The wiki strictly does not allow users to talk about politics and the punishment is 1 month. I guess the punishment is quite strict and politics is something many users like talking about. I think we should allow politics as long it does not go beyond a user limit.
