Voting?
[edit]There are various voting happening already. Should we modify them to comments? It's very confusing right now, because when I bumped in this election page, I thought the voting started already (I scrolled down with "page down" and did not see the "DO NOT VOTE" text).

- Probably not worth bothering with, at this point; there's not that many of them. The point about the text is well-taken; I'll see what I can do about making it more prominent. Kirill Lokshin 18:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind that; since people are apparently getting confused, I've trimmed out the "support" wordings from the comments. Is the notice prominent enough now? Kirill Lokshin 18:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Should be perfect. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 18:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Eek! my fault, think i was the one that started voting and others followed suit, my fault for not reading properly - apologies! :-) - PocklingtonDan 19:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, no problem. :-)

- How do we vote? The method of voting is not clear, nor does there seem to be an easily accesible ballot, as implied by the cross-link to voting. Joe 01:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- Just put your name down in the appropriate sections (as you've already done). Kirill Lokshin 01:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Assistant Coordinators
[edit]Can someone advise how the assistant coordinator positions work - ie does one assistant coordinator take control of each section (peer review, outreach etc) of the MILHIST project? Or do all work together on all? It might be a good idea if not already implemented to have a single individual in charge of each section. Perhaps if this was or could be the case each candidate could indicate the aeea of responsibility they might wish to take on. - PocklingtonDan 09:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Moved from the main page. Kirill Lokshin 13:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Let's see:
- The coordinator positions don't involve any executive power, so speaking about "taking control" of departments isn't quite correct, in any case.
- More generally, the assistant positions are all basically "at-large". Running each individual department is a relatively small part of the overall workload, so there's no real need to have a "dedicated" coordinator for each; and there's no particular benefit to doling out sectons of the project to specific people otherwise.

Not Running
[edit]Greetings fellow MilHist Wikieditors, as can be apperent from my last two months of "activity", I shall not be running anew for Assistant-Coordinator. It was an honnour to have been chosen in the last round of elections and hope that I did not disapoint. Even though my time is now far more constraint I hope to return and aid where I can for the next group of electees. Good luck and may the chosen's tenures be smooth and productive! --Dryzen 16:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- There seems to be far more new faces to veteran faces in this round of elections, it will be a run away for some and many ties in the lower numbers.--Dryzen 16:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
