I have born witness to a possible account of canvassing in the votes for the February 2011 Featured Media. OavatosDK persuaded the general Final Fantasy Wiki's large IRC community to support him. As a result, DrakeClawfang further canvassed in an odd reverse in manner, in which Drake arranged to vote for the Aqua picture in exchange for OavatosDK voting for the latter's nomination on an off-wiki poll. To me, this seems like an unfair exchange to both wikis. Now, months ago, we had the Room Core incident, which was stopped due to canvassing, as can be shown by the chewing-out by Miss BebopKate. If we stopped that image from being Featured Media due to canvassing of votes, we cannot allow an exception to the rule, especially when it was the exact same issue: using #FFWiki to "whore" for extra votes. This is certainly not the first time I have seen a link to this page asking for votes for the Aqua image on this channel either. Counting the nomination, at least two-thirds of the votes are from the FFWiki, and this is supposed to be ''our'' Featured Media. Not the trolls' and random followers' who want the image "for teh sexeh." | I have born witness to a possible account of canvassing in the votes for the February 2011 Featured Media.

Also, I want to clarify now, for everyone the following: Being a staff member does not mean said staff member is above any other user; we are all users editing a Wiki over something we love. Yes, sometimes the supposed "higher status" does get to some heads- it happens. Even more, some bothering statements/actions can result of such thinking. We've beaten this subject to death with no actual conclusion, to which there probably will never be one. Until a peaceful conlusion/compromise surfaces, I ask any user to ignore any comments/actions made by a staff member who adamantly express their position. Don't take their comments to heart. Copy/paste/save their rants and show it to other staff members. If needed, proper "put in placement" can be done.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 23:03, January 21, 2011 (UTC) | Also, I want to clarify now, for everyone the following: Being a staff member does not mean said staff member is above any other user; we are all users editing a Wiki over something we love.

== Tiebreaker == | |||
Hey the ''Shade Jelly Family'' and ''Sora and Riku in 3D'' are tied and it's already the 26th. So when's the tiebreaker gonna be? {{User:CaelumLucisCaliga/Sig}} 16:50, 26 February 2011 (EST) | |||
:Hmm... It usually all works out by the first of the next month... If it doesn't, I guess we'll hold a tiebreaker then. {{User:Dan da Man36/Sig}} 16:57, 26 February 2011 (EST) | |||
==...wait, what?== | |||
Why was the picture of the Rising Falls & Cavern of Remembrance scrapped? <sup>'''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#4997D0">Tambours</font>]]'''</sup><sub>'''[[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#191970">Néant</font>]]'''</sub> '''[[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="silver">Ensemble !</font>]]''' 15:28, 6 April 2011 (EDT) | |||
== Format == | |||
So, uh...what exactly are we doing with this? The rules say the ol' one-vote thingy, but everybody is following the new 3-images-a-month (it is 3, right?). Are we really gonna wait for another Roundtable to fix this? --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 14:41, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
:I assume that if you can nominate 3, you can vote for 3. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 14:46, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
::I knew that, kinda missed the point there, Erry. --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 14:50, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
:::Well then, if you knew that; you wouldn't be asking this. I'm sure ''someone'' will change them to fit the new system. There is no requirement for a roundtable to change something that was already changed anyways. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 14:54, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
::::...huh? I was asking which one was official. Just because everybody is doing something one way doesn't mean that it's the right way we decided on. --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 15:14, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
:::::It was changed to the tri-voting system. End of story. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 15:32, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
::::::Alright then, thank you for answering the original question. <small>''Somebody'' had their daily dose of bitch-os for breakfast...</small> --{{SilverCrono/Sig}} 15:40, 15 July 2011 (EDT) | |||
==Slight Rule Change== | |||
{{Asif|shonormal=Okay, this month we have a tie for second place- two images have two votes each. If we went strictly by the rules and used a randomizer, we would have no image for the last third of the month. Therefore, may I suggest this change? | |||
:In the event of a tie between two images, we will use a randomizer for the tied nominations. ''However, if using a randomizer would cause there to be no image in the last third of the month (eg. if there is a tie for second-most votes and no other images with votes), the image that was nominated first will be used for the second third, and the others will be used for the last third.'' | |||
Is that addition okay?}} | |||
Well, I wouldn't really add that, it would be implied... sort of. If it doesn't seem to be implied then... uh, try to shorten it a little bit. It seems a little long. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 02:57, 1 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
== GIFs == | |||
So yeah, the Trinity Limit gif on the front page looks, to be quite honest, bloody terrible. Let's never do that again. --{{User:DoorToNothing/Sig}} 01:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
:BBS gifs work better. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 11:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
