  • There is a current thread on WT:RFA about the total support vs. the total oppose votes cast on current RfAs. Can we graph the Support/Oppose vote ratio on all current RfAs over time? To see if there is a trend showing periods of high opposition levels. Perhaps excluding RfAs that are removed within 24 hours to eliminate a bias due to snowball RfAs.
