Nominate and support. TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional Support Sounds great, good EV, but the description page should explain who is performing it. Major Bloodnok (talk) 23:26, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The description page already said United States Navy Band. I have move that from the author section to the description section of the description page.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:43, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural restart - This nomination is not getting any attention at the bottom of the page. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 10:19am • 00:19, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Do original votes count?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:24, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes original votes count, it's just the voting period that got restarted, on May 31st the sound can be promoted if there is another vote, it doesn't matter which way since we need a 2/3 majority. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 11:22am • 01:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - DO you realize the ridiculousness of that statement. Z gin der 2011-05-28T22:37Z (UTC)
!Vote To allow closure. Zginder 2011-05-28T22:37Z (UTC)
- Since this is a 51 second audio file, why don't you take 51 seconds and decide whether you feel it should be an FS so we can get to a quorum of either two supports (other than myself) or two opposes.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, first, while huge changes to the criteria made recently have no consensus, and second, because there is a risk of serious imbalances in the corpus of featured sounds. Already, doing the Signpost page, I've noticed an awfully big skew towards certain genres, performers, video themes, styles, countries. We need to stop and take account of what kind of breadth featured sounds will end up with. Tony (talk) 11:04, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Explain how that applies here. There is little or no fife and drum music in the current range of FS selections.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:33, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
oppose the song is originally from an opera. I can't see how a drum and fife version of this adds EV. --Guerillero | My Talk 22:14, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not promoted The concerns raised by those opposing outweigh the support vote, fife and drum is fine but not when the piece is centuries old and NOT intended to be played as such and in the context of FS such music has little value, no matter how well the rendition is played. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 5:06pm • 07:06, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oh for fucksake, grow a set. This wasn't even related to your other nominations... —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 9:52pm • 11:52, 13 June 2011 (UTC)~~ I have no idea what that was about and I forgot what pissed me off, so please ignore my little hissy fit. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 9:30pm • 11:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
