Test-Scratch-Wiki talk:Elections/October 2014

I just had an idea...
(Sorry this couldn't have been done by email.)

How about, instead of only having five or six wikians running in the election, we have everybody run but only 5 or 6 choices are made per person? The Borda system will still work; the first choice will get 6 points, etc. Mathfreak231 00:19, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I was going by the main site strategy. The election would be a bit too chaotic if people had to read ten speeches. jvvg 00:30, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * jvvg - good point. i can't read 10 speeches (too long and i probably would not read a bunch of them because of the amount of speeches)
 * 00:50, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I can tell you I wouldn't have read all of speeches last election if there were more. That gives an unfair advantage to whoever gets put at the top of the list. jvvg 01:06, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * maybe shortest on the top?
 * 01:15, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * actually i think its ok the biggest speech (mathfreak231) was second to last
 * 01:20, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Still, even if the speeches are only a few lines, nobody will read ten of them, and I think ten people nominated themselves. jvvg 01:24, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

I like the current idea, if we use that, there could be up to 20 submitted speeches here. derpmeup 20:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the voters want to put a lot of thought into the election and wouldn't mind having to sort through 10-20 seven-line speeches if they really wanted to choose the best of the best. Mathfreak231 12:46, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * This may sound kinda mean, but require them to read all ten? Krett12 13:13, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * That means reading 70+ lines (84 if we include all 12 nominees and each writes 7 lines). That's a lot of reading. If we end up doing this, we need to require the speeches to be shorter (like 3 or 4 lines). jvvg 14:54, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I think having everyone run is too much to read, as people have said. Scimonster 18:16, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I didn't really like this idea from the start. Krett12 18:55, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Candidates List
When will it be released, October 1st? derpmeup 23:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * September is only 30 days... It will either be released later in the day tomorrow or on October 1. jvvg 23:34, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, haha, I forgot that. xD For some reason, I thought September had 31 days for a sec :P derpmeup 23:35, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * oh yeah, me too
 * 01:54, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

WHAT THE HECK?
I AM NOT ONE TO USE ALL CAPS--BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. EITHER THERE IS SOME KIND OF MISTAKE OR YOU THINK THIS IS FAIR! If this is just a mistake, then I understand that--I can be placed on the list. IF YOU ACTUALLY DID THIS, THEN YOU ARE JUST OVERLOOKING ALL THE WORK I HAVE DONE! YOU JUST DON'T NEED IT, DO YOU? I GUESS I AM JUST WASTING MY TIME HERE THEN? WHEN I "CAME BACK" FROM QUITTING, I WAS JUST CURIOUS TO SEE IF I'D BE IN THIS ELECTION!. So I think you know what I will do now, I am not trying to be rude, but this seriously hurts my feelings that you don't think I could even be an EW. SO IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO LEAVE, YOU'D BETTER TALK FAST! Krett12 00:18, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * They did say there would only be 6 candidates. And, just a question - what work did you exactly do for the Wiki besides the April Fools Wiki? derpmeup 00:24, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Talk about overreacting... No offense, Krett. SuperSmashScratch 00:25, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Do you really need more power to have fun with the Wiki? derpmeup 00:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, if you're not on there, they might have had a reason. derpmeup 00:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'LL HAVE TO ASK JVVG HOW MUCH INFORMATION I CAN SHARE WITH YOU! Oh, you're right in front of me? Then why were you yelling? :P Mathfreak231 00:28, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Krett the Wiki is not about power. That's what we have politics for. Turkey3 00:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Krett is not a wiki, @Turkey3 :P SuperSmashScratch 00:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * xD!!! That's what we have politics for, derpmeup 00:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * krett the wiki??? and @krett12 we dont want you to leave, but this was a vote between admins, and they voted on people. i am really sorry you could not get in (because i experienced that a lot too)
 * 00:36, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't remember exactly (it's buried under a lot of emails), but I'm pretty sure I said we were keeping the election discussion private and others agreed to it. All I can say is that everybody on the CP list was considered and discussed. Anyway, let me leave with this statement: if your happiness on the Wiki is dependent on you having power, then it is probably not the place for you. The privilege that is the most important on the Wiki is simply being able to edit at all. Since the Wiki is a collection of pages about articles of Scratch, being able to edit them is the whole point of being a contributor. The EW and admin privileges are just nice to have. All they really do is enable you to help other users out with some technical issues. Deleting pages, despite what it may appear, is not really that gratifying. Editing pages is much more gratifying. Reviewing account requests is actually more depressing than gratifying. I am just going through request after request of people who just want to post violations of NOSP and only the occasional request that even bothered to read CONTRIB. What makes me happy here is improving articles, and that should be what makes everyone else here happy. jvvg 00:52, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I was waiting for an EW/admin to say that. SuperSmashScratch 00:56, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * SSS, YOU CAN CHECK THE PAGE HISTORY. Derpmeup, you are a bit more reasonable, so I will be calm too, the point isn't to be fun, I don't want to have fun and not be useful, it is work. Krett12 01:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * FOUR EDIT CONFLICTS! THIS IS NOT HELPING MY MOOD. I MAY SOMETIMES BE SHY, BUT DO NOT PUSH ME! Krett12 01:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Just editing makes you useful ;) derpmeup 01:17, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The point I was making with that mega-wall of text can be summarized with derpmeup's message. The thing we appreciate most is useful edits to articles. You may notice that I mostly do Wiki administration stuff, but whenever I do make a mainspace edit, I take pride in it. That's really what I'm here for, and it's definitely what I enjoy most. jvvg 01:19, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Exactly! Also, kinda offtopic, but - my speech was about 10 lines instead of 8, is that ok? I just had a lot to fit in it. derpmeup 01:20, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, either they looked at my edits or they are putting no thought into this election, that is what I say. I am going to do something here that shows how you make me feel. The emptier the bar is, the more likely I will leave. If it is ever empty, I have quit. Krett12 01:21, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * AND ANOTHER EDIT CONFLICT! Krett12 01:21, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * AND TWO MORE EDIT CONFLICTS! ARGH! Krett12 01:21, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You don't need to leave over not getting a bit of extra power. :/ derpmeup 01:23, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Saying we put no thought into this election is a pretty serious accusation. We actually put a lot of thought into the list of candidates. We chose based on history of productive editing, our view of their understanding/application of Wiki policies, and behavior. In fact, the email chain we used to discuss the election is 37 messages (41 if you count the original conversation I had with Sci). Anyway, my point is that candidates weren't chosen arbitrarily or out of personal preference. jvvg 01:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, the only arbitrarily chosen list of candidates is the list I put in the sample table to explain borda count. I just picked the existing admins and the first two ST members that I could think of. jvvg 01:28, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * If I joined yesterday, maybe. AND I DON'T CARE THAT THIS ISN'T HELPING MY CHANCES, I WILL BE AS LOUD AS I WANT. I AM NOT SURE ABOUT GETTING IT, BUT IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE PUT IN A LOT MORE WORK THAN THE REST OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING. IF YOU WERE ON A WIKI MONTHS, ALMOST HALF A YEAR BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE, AND THEN THEY JUST BECAME AN EW BEFORE YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE THAT? WOULD YOU THINK THAT WAS FAIR? WOULD YOU. MAYBE I WILL LEAVE, AND I BETTER NOT GET AN EDIT CONFLICT THIS TIME!!!  Krett12 01:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * JVVG? WHY? I SERIOUSLY DO NOT LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW, AND IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CHANGE MY MIND. Krett12 01:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I don't mean to debunk - but is this the reason why the admins didn't pick you, because of this? That's quite harsh and I surely was surprised upon seeing this! 01:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Remember that the volume of edits and seniority are not the only things we consider from users. We want users who will use the tools properly, so the most important thing is applying Wiki guidelines properly in situations. Those users will be the best ones for deleting pages and confirming accounts. We did not think you met the criteria, and you have to respect that. While you may disagree with us, you still need to respect the decision. jvvg 01:40, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * SOMEONE CANNOT LEAVE AND NOT RESPECT SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE THERE, DUH! I DON'T CARE IF YOU EVER PICK ME, IF THIS CONTINUES I WILL LEAVE, AND I AM NOT JOKING! Krett12 01:42, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * If you can't come to respect the decision we made for candidates, then maybe the Wiki is not the right place for you. I have said this many times, and I will say it again: the Wiki only works if we can all respect each other. This includes respecting each others' decisions, including admin decisions. There was a process that everybody agreed to before the election, and these are the results. jvvg 01:46, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You said you put in more work than all of the other candidates, do you see my activity here...? derpmeup 02:12, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Part of the reason why I am inclined to leave is that not one single person sided with me. And I thought I had friends A real friend might ask me to calm down, but they don't reject me like this. I do not have very much patience left, so PLEASE AVOID ME!! Krett12 02:24, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh my god! I don't believe it! I WAS NOT EDIT CONFLICTED! YAY! I still strongly dislike a lot of you; but this does change my mood a bit. 02:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I honestly kinda agree with KrIsMa right now - Experienced Wikians should have good judgement and be nice, and maybe the reason you were not put into the candidates list is because of your strong and slightly harsh personality. This actually isn't the only time I've seen you lash out on users. derpmeup 02:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

LASH OUT? I MAY BE CALM LATER, BUT I AM VERY TICKED OFF RIGHT NOW. NOT BEING ON THE LIST WAS ONE THING---BUT YOU ALL HAVE TURNED THIS INTO MUCH MORE. Krett12 03:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe I am overreacting a little, but COME ON. Krett12 03:29, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Whoa! Krett, you really need to settle down. The wiki works because wikians work together and discuss differences respectfully. Furthermore, being an editor on the Scratch wiki is a privilege-- which means that not everyone gets it. Right now, you're not really showing upstanding wikian behavior. If you have a problem with the election process, please ask nicely. And, never fear, I'm sure there will be another election sometime in the future. Scmb1 03:31, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I AM TRYING TO CALM DOWN--BUT IT IS A LOT MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT MAY SEEM LIKE. SORRY, BUT THIS IS TRUE. i started by physically removing the shift and caps lock keys from my keyboard. does this sound okay/ unfortunately, i cannot sign now, because i cannot do tildaes. and about, the election, maybe there will be another, in the next year

--my comment by krett12
 * You actually broke your keyboard over this? O_o derpmeup 03:46, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

i have to. seriously. not lying. good thing i have no-bots so i don't get reprimanded for not properly signing my post. --krett12
 * Wow. Krett, please, calm down. Take a step back. If it was a different person who nominated themselves and didn't make it, and they reacted like this, would you support them to be an EW?
 * Also, you can sign using the edittools available above and below the edit box. Or you can just copy a tilde from here: ~ Scimonster 08:11, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * would do the exact same thing that wished that everyone else would do. ask me to calm down a little, but actually be supportive. Not one person said I had a single good edit (except for those fake comments on the cp). no. not one. besides, i need one person to ask me to calm down, I didn't say anything about five. no search the page for that. oh, you got no hits? that makes sense. so if you are doing this, then you must think i am joking. well, then, maybe i will leave the wiki for a few days. bye. --krett12
 * My question was, would you think that person is a good candidate for EW? Scimonster 08:54, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * @Krett12 Are you talking about my edit about that I was stating "I was the first to make a speech" but I deleted it because I thought it was rude? SuperSmashScratch 11:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ...I think you just messed that up, look at your post. It has an uppercase n. Please explain to me how you had that uppercase n. SuperSmashScratch 11:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I will at least say that, had Turkey3 not joined the election, I would have preferred you run rather than JayceeMinecraft. Sorry if I wash't supposed to say that... Mathfreak231 12:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC) aww.....now i have to try really hard not to hate turkey3......--krett12
 * : | derpmeup 13:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Dat example tho
Poor Lightnin xD Mathfreak231 00:31, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Haha xD derpmeup 00:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * PFFT HAHAHA And he's a Scratch Team member. SuperSmashScratch 00:32, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * He doesn't have enough edits. :P Scimonster 08:01, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Heh. LOL. xD By the way, all wiki contributors can vote, right? I've been waiting for this moment.. I don't have a Wiki account on the last election. Rumanti 11:57, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, everyone can vote. jvvg 12:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Script to count votes
This is just a slight improvement over the one I used last time: Clicky! jvvg 01:44, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay. Swampert11 02:34, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Admins voting
User talk:jvvg -- jvvg raised the question of whether admins should vote. I don't see why not. After all, we're the ones who are going to be training the new EW(s), and working with them. What do you say, jvvg? Scimonster 08:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I suppose so. jvvg 11:04, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hm...
I think I know which two people will be turning EW in the end, and not one of them is me. SuperSmashScratch 11:56, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't be so sure. This is an election, so it's all about what the community decides. jvvg 12:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

one of them is not you.....the other one is! --krett12
 * Oh, I missed the joke. :P jvvg 15:30, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a joke, and one of these were on the election by everyone saying they wanted him on there, so... :P SuperSmashScratch 20:08, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
 * You never know, take a look at presidential elections in the U.S. Turkey3 00:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That's millions of people, though. SuperSmashScratch 00:41, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I have to agree with SSS. I don't think I will be one unless I suddenly get a whole bunch of top votes. -PRO- Logo2.png-PRO- (talk | contribs) 12:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

If you already have your votes ready, post

 * 02:00, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * In that case, it might be a good idea to remove the sample and replace it with the real table. ;) jvvg 02:02, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Where? Here? SuperSmashScratch 02:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think he was referring to the election table. However, he forgot to make that. Hold on to your votes for now. jvvg 02:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And I guess it's time to vote now, or else I just made my ideas public. SuperSmashScratch 02:37, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * jvvg, you said sunday, but we're voting anyways??
 * 03:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * 03:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Hmm
Here are the results so far: KrIsMa-17 Turkey3-16 Derpmeup-10 -PRO--8 Swampert11-6 SuperSmashScratch-3

And that is approximately who I voted for :P Krett12 03:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Cool! :3 derpmeup 04:42, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Nice! =D Rumanti 07:48, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Uh-oh, there is a tie between SSS and Swampert11.

KrIsMa=33 Turkey3=24 -PRO-=18 Derpmeup=15 Swampert11=12 SuperSmashScratch=12

However since they are both in last place I don't think it'll matter that much. Krett12 14:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I made a small script for this and will turn it on soon. Krett12 14:47, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It seems who's winning is who I thought would win. :P SuperSmashScratch 15:05, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

That "you must be joking" edit
It looks like I was modifying a vote. I was not; I thought Krett12 put himself on the list and it was almost 10:30 PM where I live at the time of that, so I was kind of getting a bit sleepy. So, it was just an accident. Sorry everyone! SuperSmashScratch 11:45, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for apologizing. #SSShasawikiaddiction :P -PRO- Logo2.png-PRO- (talk | contribs) 12:04, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Should I search that tag? SuperSmashScratch 12:26, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Tiebreaker?
How would we break ties if one happens for second/third place? We could do one of the following:
 * Run-off
 * Admins pick one
 * Only #1 becomes an EW
 * All 3 become EWs jvvg 18:30, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Is what you mean by "run-off" that we have a mini-election, but only for those two? Krett12 18:36, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah. jvvg 18:37, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * A run-off election would not do because in theory it would only turn out to be another tie assuming the same exact people vote. Me and Derpmeup are tied right now for 58 points I realize. I think someone else will vote though and the tiebreaker will not be needed, but I think a better system than a second vote is needed because in mathematical theory it'd turn out the same in a tie. Turkey3 19:11, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Digital rock, paper, scissors? Djdolphin 19:21, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe only 1 becomes an EW? Scimonster 19:42, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Certainly better than having 3 that is. I think we could rule out some things:


 * Run-off
 * Admins pick one
 * Only #1 becomes an EW
 * All 3 become EWs Turkey3 19:52, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I think all 3 get to be EW's because it looks like they all deserve it if they tie. I understand this leaves 4 EW's. -PRO- Logo2.png-PRO- (talk | contribs) 19:57, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I thought of an idea - maybe the first place person gets to choose which of the 2 they would like to be an EW with them? derpmeup 23:28, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * No--peer pressure. Krett12 23:40, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay - it was just a suggestion ;) derpmeup 23:41, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

How about The Almighty Tweaker chooses? Krett12 14:29, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * how? by luck?
 * 14:31, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * By a randomizer. Krett12 14:32, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * hmm, randomizer seems a bit unfair, but i was thinking
 * since tiebreakers are hard to come by - well if 1 and 2 are tied then 1 2 automatically become ew, but if 2,3 the i think count the admin votes using borda count and see who has more points?
 * 14:35, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look like we're going to need one, but if we do, it's not going to be random. jvvg 14:42, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I think I thought of the best tiebreaker. Go by number of #1 votes, then if still a tie, #2 votes, and so on. jvvg 16:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * We could also do something like just counting votes in the top 3 or something, although that could get pretty complicated. jvvg 16:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

I think I'd prefer:
 * Ok, I think I thought of the best tiebreaker. Go by number of #1 votes, then if still a tie, #2 votes, and so on. ErnieParke 00:09, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks like the best solution. jvvg 00:25, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * How about we choose according to my vote? Krett12 14:05, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The wiki doesn't revolve around you, Krett12 SSSLogo.png SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 14:07, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, if anybody would get to choose, it would be one of the existing admins. jvvg 15:21, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * @SSS I was joking Krett12 00:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

We Need a Closing Data
How long do the elctions last? Through Sunday I assume? Turkey3 20:06, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * They were supposed to start on Sunday, so Sunday is pretty much a must. How about they end Sunday at 11:59 PM? Or Monday? ErnieParke 20:12, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Give a few days. Maybe Tuesday? Scimonster 20:15, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That sounds good! ErnieParke 20:16, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Tuesday sounds good. jvvg 15:42, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * tuesday at 12:00n or wednesday at 12:00n?
 * 01:28, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * How 'bout when I get home (8-10 hours from now)? jvvg 13:43, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me. SSSLogo.png SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 13:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Is this, as in a week from now, or tomorrow? Krett12 13:50, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Tweaker Incorrectly Counting
When I last checked, this is what I got:

KrIsMa: 85 points

Turkey3: 72 points

Derpmeup: 73 points

-PRO-: 52 points

SSS: 35 points

Swampert11: 33 points

Tweaker has:

KrIsMa has 80 points

Turkey3 has 68 points

Derpmeup has 68 points

-PRO- has 59 points

SuperSmashScratch has 33 points

Swampert11 has 32 points

For example, KrIsMa, from top to down, has:

6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 1

The wiki says that adds up to:

Tweaker says that adds up to: 80 ErnieParke 23:07, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I was thinking. But, -PRO- actually has 53, for some reason LegendaryCowMaster left his last spot blank where -PRO- would be. derpmeup 23:10, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that is odd. Should we add in -PRO- for LegendaryCowMaster? ErnieParke
 * Sure! derpmeup 23:24, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I have an alternate idea. What if CowMaster only forgot that -PRO- was running, but didn't want them in last? Putting -PRO- in last wouldn't be nice. So instead, what if we asked CowMaster on their profile if they could add -PRO- into their vote? ErnieParke 00:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * He actually moved to Zykon 6 months ago, but he got a Wiki account in January so he couldn't request a new one. ;P derpmeup 00:04, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh. ;) Maybe we can ask on the new account? ErnieParke 00:55, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * He actually left a few days ago xP But, I can contact him through Google+ easily :) derpmeup 01:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The output looks fine, I think Tweaker is counting perfectly fine. Krett12 01:27, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

That's 8 indents. That's a lot of indents. Anyway, I don't see how the output is fine. For example, the amount of points KrIsMa has and what tweaker is spitting out are not the same. This is true with every other EW candidate. ErnieParke 01:36, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * krett12, are you sure it is working? i don't get how everyone except pro's points went down, compared to the actual manual counting :)

 * I am not trying to point fingers at you Krett or anything, but before I counted my score manually and it was incorrect by over 10 points. Turkey3 03:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Okay, Tweaker's results seem to change quite often even when no one else has voted. Turkey3 18:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * is it because tweaker is counting the last vote as 0 rather than 1? (because that is an alternative way for the borda count)

LegendaryCowMaster
LegendaryCowMaster voted, but I am not in their vote. I find this highly offensive. I would like an apology. -PRO- (talk | contribs) 12:25, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * He or she might have misunderstood. I think he was confused because people running who voted put N/A at the end so he was probably unsure whether or not to vote for a 6th person. Turkey3 12:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I am still offended. They must not have read the instructions. Which were pretty easy to follow. -PRO- Logo2.png-PRO- (talk | contribs) 12:30, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * -PRO-, if you go to LegendaryCowMaster's talk page, you'll find it was a mistake, but they can't add you to their vote now because according to Krett12:


 * ErnieParke 15:15, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Edit: It looks like you've been added -PRO-! I should've checked this page before commenting. :/ ErnieParke 15:19, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It's fine now. I talked to him/her on his profile. -PRO- Logo2.png-PRO- (talk | contribs) 17:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Rfttstf
This user needs to vote themself; SuperSmashScratch cannot do it for them. Please stop. Krett12 13:47, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It has once again been reverted, and unless policy changes occur, it needs to stay that way. Krett12 13:48, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * 
 * 13:50, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * wait how do you know sss was using his account?
 * 13:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * There isn't a rule that says that people can't do it for them if they give them permission to. Anyway, how he knew that, KrIsMa, was on the CP where I stated that I am not hacking, I am doing what rtftts told me to do. SSSLogo.png SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 13:54, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * here's a better question, when will we know when the actual rfttfs comes and votes?
 * 13:55, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * But they need to do it themselves--how do we know you're not fudging their vote? Krett12 13:57, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * And KrIsMa, let's just ask them on the main site. Krett12 13:57, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Here is the comment. SSSLogo.png SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 13:58, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

This is a stupid argument, let's just end it and move on, ok? Oh and it's my B-day so I will be hosting an online draw. Krett12, I'll be sure to invite you to it. :) SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 14:11, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * today? happy birthday!

 * 15:44, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sick today, so I'm not at school? is that a :D or a D:? xD The homework tomorrow will be a D:, that's for sure lol derpmeup 15:45, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * yeah, I am a bit sick - but still :( because i'm missing out on a lot of things, such as recursion and fractals (fun stuff)!!
 * 16:06, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * If the user in question gave SSS permission to record their votes, i don't see what the problem is. Scimonster 20:38, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Update?
What's the latest scores updates? Is the results page always up to date? Turkey3 14:56, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

 * No Krett12, it was yesterday. SSSLogo.png SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 19:22, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Update
Ya might wanna update the page now. Elections are over. SuperSmashScratch (talk | contribs) 05:13, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yup. Feel free to play with the formatting, peoples. Scimonster 07:13, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Sci it's protected (he didn't notice because he's an admin) Krett12 10:57, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Right, right... Then you can just suggest changes. Scimonster 17:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Request
Please change my speech (which was ) to "I have been on the wiki and am active for a lot of time. I helped improve lots of pages. I would, if I am Experienced Wikian, accept account requests quicker than usual, patrol quickly, and delete pages and revert edits that need to be deleted or reverted quicker than ever. Not saying that the current ones who do that aren't very good, just stating I can do it quickly. I would also help those in need quickly. Why I would do it good is I have good judgement skills (I have a good sense of right and wrong) and I am on for a long, long time every day. I would also not break any rules. So, please vote for me as Experienced Wikian. Thanks, and good luck to everyone else! I hope you make it too! :D" and delete this page. Thanks!

 * FTW! (✅) jvvg 18:52, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Vote Now
The vote now button still exists even when the election is over. And, when you click it, it just gives you the view source message as the page is protected - can an admin remove that button? derpmeup 14:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ jvvg 15:51, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! derpmeup 16:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
