[edit] A question

Shouldn't this wikipedian first accept this nominations then respond to the questions prior to us all voting? Kukini 23:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you all should have. Anyone who didn't was very naughty and should be sent to be without dessert. Ah well, 4 or 5 votes isn't fatal. Anyways, I accepted now. JoshuaZ 05:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that ending date a little too short, 1 May + 7 days = not 6 May? feydey 10:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, well I created it on April 30th. Do you start counting when the nominee accepts, or when the election is created?--The ikiroid (talk)^{(Help Me Improve)} 18:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

When they accept and it goes "live" (which is why people shouldnt vote before it's accepted). Guettarda 18:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

But people voting before the nomination is officially accepted is quite a common occurance here. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 19:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, as long as it doesn't go overboard, there was the whole debacle with User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me's RfA where he got over 60 votes before it went live and people made accusations of votestacking. JoshuaZ 19:20, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
