[edit] Diagrams as a Selected Image

After a number of months of diagrams being a Selected Image I have decided to ban them for February and March at least. I also think only photographs should be a selected image but you can comment about the ban extension below. Also for fairness unobjected nominations will have to be renominated for another month and those that have been objected to cannot be renominated at all. Unisouth (talk) 14:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

Unobjected nominations are already reentered and objected ones are archived. But I diagree with banning diagrams. If users of this WikiProject want a diagram then so be it. No one has the authority to go against the freedom of WikiProject users. You can advise users to stop nominating so many diagrams but you cannot ban it. Tbo 157(talk) 17:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I misunderstood the first part of your comment. If unobjected nominations are all removed, then it won't work as not enough users bother voting for the selected article and image. Also, users can reenter previously unobjected noninations if they wish to. If its still objected, the community will likely object again. Tbo 157(talk) 17:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... I think that:

  1. If noms are objected, leave them until there are 5 objections
  2. If noms dont succeed, leave them until they do or are objected
  3. Dont restrict what can be the selected item, but say what the current/last was - and advise users that it would be boring to have another similar

Any further comments?

I think the current system is fine since only about 3 users participate anyway. Tbo 157(talk) 18:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
