<!--T:10-->
'''Please note any registered user may vote here although those who have few or no previous edits may not be fully counted. It is preferable if you give reasons both for <tvar name="s">{{support}}</tvar> votes or <tvar name="o">{{oppose}}</tvar> ones as this will help the closing bureaucrat in their decision. Greater weight is given to argument, with supporting evidence if needed, than to a simple vote.'''
