I had clearly meant the alternative, because that's the one I carried out the closing procedure on (I have changed this). FPC on en.wiki is [[WP:NOT#DEMOCRACY|not a vote]], I chose the picture that seemed to have the most support behind it. There was consensus to feature ''something'' in that nom. |

Also, there is no strict time limit on the duration of a featured picture candidacy. I close them when there is sufficient volume to carry out the closing procedure economically. [[User:MER-C|MER-C]] 05:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC) |

Welcome to my talk page!
Please place new messages at the bottom of this page, or click here to start a new discussion, which will automatically be at the bottom. I will respond to comments here, unless there's a better place for them. Please read the following helpful hints before posting:
- Wikipedia is a volunteer curated encyclopedia. That means it is not a social networking site, a place for self-promotion, a marketing medium or a free web host. You are expected to be familiar with the goals of this project before you post here.
- Think. Use common sense. Read this before posting; failure to do so may result in your posts being ignored or mocked.
- If you wish to discuss your link additions, I advise you to be read our conflict of interest and spam policies before posting. These pages contain information about the appropriateness of link additions.
- I prefer to be contacted here (as opposed to email) where possible. You're much more likely to get a prompt response.
- I do not consider unblock or undeletion requests sent via email. Please refer to Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks to appeal your block. You may request undeletion here.
- Off-wiki evidence of undisclosed paid editing must not be posted here. These, and complex cases of paid editing will not be acted upon. In both cases, please email paid-en-wp
wikipedia dot org.
Thanks for letting me know of the speedy delete option. I didn't think there would be a criterion, so I didn't even bother to look! Now I know. ... discospinster talk 12:46, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear MER-C, just a small question. I counted only 4 support votes on the alternative 1 version, did i miscount the votes ? Best regards. Richard --Central Powers 13:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
