==Vote to adopt policy==
We've discussed a lot of stuff here, and frankly it would be disappointing to see that work and effort go to waste, without an effort to ratify these ideas into policy. To that effect, I have brushed up the draft policy based on what was discussed here, and now present it for a vote.
 
To clarify what has changed, I present the same list I included at the top of this thread, with changes notated:
# Rename the page to The Sims Wiki:Voting policy for sake of clarity. - '''''Done'''''
# Eliminate the standard voting format listed in the policy. - '''''Done''' and reflected on the draft policy.''
# Remove the administrators/bureaucrats-only limitation on initiating votes. - ''Reflected on draft policy. No formal vote was held to determine this point, but it seems that consensus is in favor of it. Also added a point agreed-to above, limiting vote creation to neutral admins or users who were actively involved in the discussion''
# Eliminate the strict two-week duration on wiki votes, replacing it with a five day minimum vote duration. - ''Reflected on draft policy. There was no consensus regarding a specific maximum duration, but that's something that can be added on at a later date if needed''
# Prohibit the use of the Poll feature in official voting. - '''''Done''' and reflected on the draft policy.''
# Clarify and organize the page. - ''Done on the draft policy''
 
Overall, I think any lingering little issues can be ironed out after the main policy is adopted. And, it would be nice to finally be able to wrap up this discussion.
 
So, I'd like to put this matter up to a vote. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 00:33, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
