Voting?

There are various voting happening already. Should we modify them to comments? It's very confusing right now, because when I bumped in this election page, I thought the voting started already (I scrolled down with "page down" and did not see the "DO NOT VOTE" text).

Probably not worth bothering with, at this point; there's not that many of them. The point about the text is well-taken; I'll see what I can do about making it more prominent. Kirill Lokshin 18:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Never mind that; since people are apparently getting confused, I've trimmed out the "support" wordings from the comments. Is the notice prominent enough now? Kirill Lokshin 18:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Should be perfect. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 18:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Eek! my fault, think i was the one that started voting and others followed suit, my fault for not reading properly - apologies! :-) - PocklingtonDan 19:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, no problem. :-)

How do we vote? The method of voting is not clear, nor does there seem to be an easily accesible ballot, as implied by the cross-link to voting. Joe 01:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Just put your name down in the appropriate sections (as you've already done). Kirill Lokshin 01:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Assistant Coordinators

Can someone advise how the assistant coordinator positions work - ie does one assistant coordinator take control of each section (peer review, outreach etc) of the MILHIST project? Or do all work together on all? It might be a good idea if not already implemented to have a single individual in charge of each section. Perhaps if this was or could be the case each candidate could indicate the aeea of responsibility they might wish to take on. - PocklingtonDan 09:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Moved from the main page. Kirill Lokshin 13:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Let's see:

• The coordinator positions don't involve any executive power, so speaking about "taking control" of departments isn't quite correct, in any case.
• More generally, the assistant positions are all basically "at-large". Running each individual department is a relatively small part of the overall workload, so there's no real need to have a "dedicated" coordinator for each; and there's no particular benefit to doling out sectons of the project to specific people otherwise.

Not Running

Greetings fellow MilHist Wikieditors, as can be apperent from my last two months of "activity", I shall not be running anew for Assistant-Coordinator. It was an honnour to have been chosen in the last round of elections and hope that I did not disapoint. Even though my time is now far more constraint I hope to return and aid where I can for the next group of electees. Good luck and may the chosen's tenures be smooth and productive! --Dryzen 16:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be far more new faces to veteran faces in this round of elections, it will be a run away for some and many ties in the lower numbers.--Dryzen 16:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
