I cannot wait for this vote to be over. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 23:46, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Ditto. When I do a straight up Google Search, their name already pops up among the first 10 listings, under the Categories they added the Magic Dudes to.--Madchester 15:18, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Started a tally at the top. No objections I hope? This thing is just stretching out though.. so annoying. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 20:05, July 11, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the annon is right about the tally. Wikipedia states at the VFD Guidelines: "Please do not refactor the discussion into lists or tables of votes, however much you may think that this helps the process. Again, the votes are not the ends in themselves (Wikipedia is not a democracy). Both the context and the order of the comments are essential to understanding the intents of contributors, both at the discussion closure and during the discussion. Refactoring actually makes the job of making the decision at the closure of discussion much harder, not easier." Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:27, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

I have to concur. There is little need for the tally; it does not reduce the size of the page which is the reason given. The votes here are very easy indeed to count: the socks/meats are so blatant they could usefully be collected up as a tutorial example for new users/admins. -Splash 00:30, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Well, we could cross out the noobs and the socks votes, but keep their comments. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:31, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
