Supermajority still needed

[edit]

This supermajority is still needed in this vote. The amplification consists in offering a plain-majority winner of one vote for a supermajority approval in another vote. Otherwise, no amplification would take place, and the choice would be not based on consensus. --Dan Polansky (talk) 05:41, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Those who opposed in the previous vote but would abstain or even support in this amplifying vote probably agree with something like this:
For some questions, especially those that are a matter of taste, a plain majority should decide, especially if there was copious participation in the vote. While I preferred an option that lost to a plain majority, I am willing to let the plain majority decide by abstaining in the amplifying vote.

Clarification: An amplifying vote is a simple support-oppose vote. It proposes a plain-majority winner of a previous vote, stating as much. It is very simple. --Dan Polansky (talk) 05:55, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Delay this vote

[edit]

I propose to delay this vote until after Wiktionary:Votes/2016-05/New logo 2 finishes. --WikiTiki89 15:00, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I second that. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 15:59, 26 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
