Halopedia:Covenant of Halopedia/Elections/Fifth Term

Voting will close October 20, 2007. Please ensure you vote before this time. Self voting is not allowed, and only one vote is valid per group for each user.

With all the excitement and preoccupation after the release of Halo 3, we seem to have forgotten to vote on new usergroup leadership. This term I am also proposing changes to several of the usergroups. Voting for these will take place at the same time as for leadership positions, and the result will determine how we appoint leaders. -- Manticore   Talk 09:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

In addition, as a matter of fairness, users voting will be required to be an existing member of the usergroup, and will only be eligible to vote for one person in each group they are a member of.

Users found to be soliciting votes in an inappropriate manner (promising promotions, etc.) on Halopedia or on IRC will be immediately disqualified from running for this and the subsequent (sixth term) election.

=Usergroup changes=

UNSC of Halopedia
I propose that the leadership structure of this group be changed to five Generals, as opposed to one General and four Colonels. This will ensure greater fairness. The CoH adopted an equal status for all leaders some time ago now, and there have been no problems there. -- Manticore   Talk 09:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Against (7)

 * 1) The General is for the leadership of the UoH as a whole, but the four colonels are for the leadership of the individual companies. I think the current leadership is enough. The current leadership system is the best for the UoH companies, I feel. --Sp art an- 781  [[Image:Seaman.png|25px]] CommCSV 09:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 4) Having 5 Generals would be insane... In my country's military, 1 general leads a division... and that leaves 4 colonels for each brigade. So... I have to go AGAINST this.
 * 5) This is a Halopedia usergroup, not a nation's armed forces. And if you read above, I said five Generals. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 15:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) I'm a fan of hierarchies in term-elected groups. I'm a big fan of a solo-General.  If anything, I'd like to expand the diversity of the General position.....attaching a platform to it.  Yeah, ok, I like politics, I'm weird, so what?  --forgottenlord 17:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposal by Manticore
I propose that three leadership positions be created for each of these groups, so that the leadership can function as a council, and to prevent the groups from becoming dictatorships. -- Manticore   Talk 09:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 4) i like that ideaXbox 3600 11:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) it is a lot of work to run a usergroup, so a shared load would be excellent for these groups. if it were shared, the groups would be way more productive

Against (1)

 * 1) Simply as a numbers game, I oppose.  We only had 8 of 13 positions filled voluntarily and only one spare individual in one position.  While as a singular entity, it might be a plausible option on GoH (the only one of the 3 that had an extra nomination), the fact that we're arbitrarily selecting users to fill the extra positions makes me hesitant to support anything that adds more positions that would be difficult to fill.  Unless we're going to let people hold two positions in different usergroups, I don't think it is feasable at this time.  I do like the concept of this suggestion, but I don't believe it's feasable at this time.  --forgottenlord 18:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposal by Spartan781
I propose that the three usergroups have a centralised leadership, with one leader in charge of each of the groups. That makes three. The change between the current one and this system is that they have some power over the other two usergroups too, other than the one they are in charge of(I'm proposing that they have second-in-command power for the other two usergroups). This centralised leadership can function as one organised council.--Sp art <font color="Gray">an- <font color="Black">781  CommCSV 13:05, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * But that still wouldn't help. If someone is elected into power in one usergroup, why should they have power in the other groups too? They haven't been voted into power for the other groups, so they shouldn't be awarded power for those groups.

 * Are you only allowed to nominate one individual, or just vote for one individual? I know RR nominated something like 4 different people for UNSCOH last term (and then cast a vote on each of them....but that had its own problems). --forgottenlord 18:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I haven't really though about it. I suppose you could nominate more than one person, but if noone votes for them, there isn't much point. The reason I changed it to one vote per person (for each group they are a member of) is to prevent the problems that can arise if you vote for as many people as you want. -- Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 14:09, 5 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd like to recommend the multiple-nominations per person. People can vote as they see fit from there, but I think it allows us a bit more flexibility especially when we're rushing to get the final people into appropriate seats at the end - 'cause that will happen. --forgottenlord 16:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I cannot be a General in the UoH because I lack experience. I feel that people voted for me just because I was "popular". Only the best people for the job should be put up. I just got here 2 months ago and even though I did a lot of work in that time, it is not enough to qualify me for UoH General. And so, on the last day of election, I quit. Thank you to all who voted for me, and I hope you all keep on doing good work.
