::::: @ Beds - I disagree that rollbackers and registered users shouldn't be able to start votes. I have full confidence that myself and other active non-admins can be trusted to start votes. And I don't think it should be left to those who have "authority". While not all users have the same user rights, we are all wiki editors who want to help improve it. And all users are in most circumstances, equal. So I think non-admins should be given the chance.
:::::I have some level of experience editing wikipedia, but I remember when I was inexperienced. Also I don't really have anything to say on the section above this one. All vote lengths are fine with me, for now. -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 21:21, December 5, 2014 (UTC)
::::::Bumping this thread from the abyss with my opinion. I think that for a user to be able to start a vote they should have at the very least one edit here and there shouldn't be any other requirements. However, I believe I may have mentioned this elsewhere in another thread but I'll say it again anyayanyway: I believe that the user should have participated in the discussion before starting a vote. This might be my own opinion but I don't see it as a good idea for a user who hasn't been involved in a discussion to start a vote as they might not know all the facts, know the reason for the discussion or something similar. Finally, I feel that all votes should be treated the same, and, if necessary, can all be controlled by admins as said above. I'd like to make a point that if an admin makes a vote another admin doesntdoesn't agree with that the second admin would be allowed to act the same in there somewhere as well, although maybe add some sort of note about discussing it via talkpagestalk pages in the event of this situation; while this will probably never happen, and as a result isntisn't a very high priority in my opinion at least, I feel its a good idea simply to state this to reinforce the "all users are equal" ideal we try to portray. {{WHsig|03:33, December 28, 2014 (UTC)}}
::::::::Yes, it is a good idea to state this to reinforce the "all users are equal" ideal we try to portray. I personally dislike the idea of only allowing admins to start votes, because I feel that gives the impression that admins are in charge of the wiki. The way I see it, all auto-confirmed users should be allowed to start votes, but the administrators should be the enforcers in votes etc. I know that I'm basically repeating what I've said above, so I think I'll just leave it at that...... -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 04:02, December 28, 2014 (UTC)
