:If you want to find people who you can rely on to know what they are doing, a popularity contest isn't a good approach. You're better off just making a unilateral decision. Put up an RfA to test the waters before you decide, but don't treat it like a vote. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 21:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:The issue is that I want to move away from "Briess says it's so, thus, it must be" to a more editor-centric and run wiki.  Yeah, sure, I may control the server hardware, but in my opinion, the less overarching power I have, the better.  How can we accomplish that goal, without turning it into a popularity contest? --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 00:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

::That's why you use a 2 week rfa as a guide. If people are overwhelmingly against, then you decide no. If people are generally for, and you don't see anything worrying, then you say yes. If you use a strict voting scheme, then it's a popularity contest. If you have fairly strict length/numbers rules, you get RfA's like Mason's. It's not a "Briess says it's so" scenario -- it's more like, "a few people have said stuff, and Briess is moving it along because it'll take too long otherwise".
