This is an experiment to see what effect a straw poll will have on, er, 'the situation'. Can't hurt, anyway. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 17:47, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Rod Weathers, this arose out of a discussion on my talk page.  The problem with making it unrestricted is that doing so attracts all sorts of people, including trolls, socks, parodists, and sycophants.  Limiting it to those with x number of edits discriminates against those that edit carefully and in depth in favour of those who can't understand the Preview button or who are making lots of trivial changes.  Limiting it to administrators is a very blunt-instrument way of limiting it to those who are theoretically more entitled to have a say.  [[User:Philip J.
