Forum:Voting Requirements

Another little thing here, this time its the current requirement to vote. As it stands, to participate in votes such as the Featured Article, one must have "acquired 20 edits within 1 month". This is very strange to me, as the messages that it gives are rather stupid. In essence, the current requirement means that previously highly regarded users are not allowed to vote because of a lack of edits. People with knowledge and wisdom always have that, it doesn't get lost. As this is the case, I fail to see why they must prove themselves every month that they are still the same person as before.

On the back of this, I propose that we change the voting requirement to X Edits flat. Thoughts? TheDocRichtofen (  Talk  ) 16:16, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
