Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates/Discussion
It says "RIsker". Shouldn't it say "Risker"? HeyMid (contributions) 09:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Another discussion option?
[edit]There is no option for discussing the candidates, and voting rationales, en masse. I was tempted to WP:Boldly create one, but upon a couple of dry runs in preview mode thought it best to determine that there was a need and have those disposed to organising these pages to include it as required.

- Is there a reason why you don't want to use the rather modest-traffic main election talkpage? If so, Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2010/Candidates is available. Skomorokh 14:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- Other than my belief in that "modesty" is not a virtue? Yes; those pages are orientated toward process and procedure and not upon the general character of this years batch of candidates - whereas the individuals are given this opportunity on the main page attached to this one. An option would be for me to copy and paste my thoughts on this matter on each individuals page, but this would be rather unweildy and not specific to any one candidate. I suggest a transcluded page where comments on the suitability of the group of candidates would be best, provided under those for the individuals? LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:09, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
- There are already too many pages to follow, too much sprawl and bureaucratic scope-creep. The main election talkpage is underused ("modest-traffic"), and not at all restricted to process and procedure, more of which would seem to be on the way if we set up yet another page. I'm not going to stand in your way if you want to go ahead with that, but I would urge you to look for ideas at the election talkpage because, surprise surprise, practically no-one else will notice our conversation here.
