Forum:Small Good article voting change

I just want to propose a minor change to Good article voting procedures. Right now, it's stated that an article only needs four (4) votes from the Council of Seers (plus at least four general member votes) to become a Good article. However, that was based on the old small number of the now inactive High Priests. There are now ten (10) members of the Council of Seers, so four is a very small number. Out of fairness, a majority should be reached amongst the Council of Seers. After all, if six Seers say that an article should not be a Good article but four Seers say that it should, that's not very fair. Normally I would just change this on my own, but a few months ago in a forum proposal by Atarumaster88 it was decided to change it to a set number of four, not a majority. Therefore, another proposal is needed.

PROPOSAL: I propose that we change the Good article voting procedures to say that a MAJORITY vote of the Council of Seers (along with the four votes from general members) is necessary to secure Good article status.

This will also bring the required number of votes an article needs to ten (10) due to the required number of general member votes. I will just note that any Seers who vote after there are already six Seer votes have their votes counted towards the general membership vote. Because this will likely be asked: YES, EVERYONE IS STILL ALLOWED TO VOTE ON GOOD ARTICLE NOMINATIONS. So yeah, please vote below. The Voting policy applies. This proposal will last however long it needs to. If there is a clear majority very quickly then we'll close this down. I don't see this being a hot button issue or anything.

Oppose

 * 1) We're already having trouble getting even eight to vote right now, and usually only half of the Seers actual vote on GA nominations. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
