replies: text: Hmm, I guess I would have to oppose that candidate for singing off-pitch. :-) Seriously, though, witty song! Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 03:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Impressive, but are you performing at Wikimania? I'd pay admission for that. :) I was just wondering the other day if we had some wikipedian songs, and of course, we have several. - Taxman Talk 03:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You think we can get Jimbo to sing along too?  Maybe the Board of Trustees and the members of the ArbCom as well!  And in the background, the Bureaucrats!!  Redux 05:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: [looks at Srikeit, scratches his head, and then flips the '9' part of the sign to make it a '6'. Looks at the '6.5', frowns again, and changes it back to '9.5'. Sits down, and realizes that this comment is going nowhere... holds up a '10.1' :-)] Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Do I need to announce here (or where if not here) invited votes on a RfA? --HolyRomanEmperor 21:13, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If it concerns a specific RfA, it may be best placed in its talk page.  If it's just a note about a specific vote, it can be placed right under it, again, in the specific RfA.  If it's a general discussion about inviting people to vote on RfAs (or if it would interest the RfA forum generally, even if the event is unfolding in a particular RfA), then post it here.

thread_title:  Invited votes 

message: I'd like to remind people that votes after the deadline are still valid expressions of community sentiment up to the point a bcrat closes the nomination. To me at least, it's also fine to comment and point them out (though I don't see a big neeed for it) as long as you add a # before the comment so it doesn't mess up the numbering. So if you see any comments to this effect, just make sure to add the #. We could also decide as a community whether we want to avoid these types of comments too. Thanks all. - Taxman Talk 16:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I prefer the comments to be inserted, since there've been at least 1 (failed) RfA where post-deadline votes tipped the balance somewhat. (Peeks into WP:RFAF). Kimchi.sg 16:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
