yeah but thats not really voting...the purpose of voting is to give people options and whichever option is given the most support(# of votes)is the undisputable winner,no arguments,if what you say is true then this really isnt a topic for voting at all,its a debate,people give their reasons why they support one thing over another then a small group ultimately decides the outcome,its pretentous to call it a vote,since voting alone wouldnt have a purpose,youd have to give your reasons for being for or against what youre voting for,and if thats the case then id have to change my vote around,since i basically just voted based on which logo i liked the most not the one i think would be the best representative of the wiki[[User:Gig|Gig]] ([[User talk:Gig|talk]]) 05:52, 25 October 2010 (EDT) | yeah but thats not really voting...the purpose of voting is to give people options and whichever option is given the most support(# of votes)is the undisputable winner,no arguments,if what you say is true then this really isnt a topic for voting at all,its a debate,people give their reasons why they support one thing over another then a small group ultimately decides the outcome,its pretentous to call it a vote,since voting alone wouldnt have a purpose,youd have to give your reasons for being for or against what youre voting for,and if thats the case then id have to change my vote around,since i basically just voted based on which logo i liked the most not the one i think would be the best representative of the wiki[[User:Gig|Gig]] ([[User talk:Gig|talk]]) 05:52, 25 October 2010 (EDT) | ||
:As you'll learn on Wikis, hardly anything are actual strict vote counts. However, unlike RfAs and such which definitely aren't, this logo proposal can be considered more or less a vote count. You're also not entirely correct about when voting occurs, the one with the most votes always automatically wins. There is such a thing called too close to call, where recounts and other things occur if the lead vote getter only lead by one or so votes. There are also votes where for something to succeed, it has to gain a certain majority, such as when bills are passed. In such votes, even if something did get more supportive votes than not, if it did not reach the required majority (such as 67%), it does not succeed. As for the debating, you or anyone else does not have to take part in it. You can simply leave your vote and never come back to the logo proposal, without posting one word in any debate that occurs. However, you are in your full right to defend the logo you like when challenged by someone else (as was the case with me). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span>[[Image: TyranitarMS.png|25px ]] 06:17, 25 October 2010 (EDT) | :As you'll learn on Wikis, hardly anything are actual strict vote counts.

If no one has a strong objection, I'm going to make an improved voting system (such as giving each proposal a rating) to hopefully produce a more clear winner; as right now it's still too close to call and things are unlikely to change otherwise.
