Forum:CT:FANs and GANs: Are the vote count requirements too high?

Yeah, I have a pretty good idea of what you may be thinking: hey, it's his first day on the job, and already he's proposing changes? While that may be true, the reasons behind this proposal, IMHO, still merit consideration.

Okay, on to the meat and potatoes. In my humble opinion, the vote-count requirements for our Featured Article and Good Article Nominations processes are too steep, at four Seer votes minimum, with five and four votes on top of that, either from the Seers or the rest of the community, respectively (in other words, nine total for FANs, eight for GANs). After talking this over with a couple of Seers, and taking into account the so-called "summer doldrums", I've come up with a system that should, theoretically, help us to pass more FANs and GANs while still maintaining the Star Wars Fanon Wiki's standard of excellence.

Bear in mind that this is just a simple matter of vote totals. Everything else about the FAN and GAN processes is unaffected by this CT.

The proposal
Right, so this is the part where I point out an alternative plan. Here goes: That's pretty much it, no elaborate explanations (or excuses) necessary. 04:36, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * For Featured Articles, the total votes should be no less than six
 * Four votes (at minimum) from the Seers
 * Two additional votes, either from other Seers or the community
 * For Good Articles, the total votes should be no less than six
 * Four votes (at minimum) from the Seers
 * Two additional votes, either from other Seers or the community

In favor

 * 1) As the proposer. 04:36, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

 * I should make it known to everyone who reads this proposal that I am actually slightly biased, as I currently have a nomination for Featured Article on the docket. 04:36, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
