Welcome, SMB, I'm :D

Overturning a Proposal
The original proposal said you could not completely overturn a proposal for sixty days, which means passed proposals can be partially changed immediately as needed. For example, if the current FI/Calendar proposal passes, FIs will replace the Calendar on the main page. That means there could not immediately be a proposal about replacing FIs with the Calendar. However, there could immediately be a proposal about re-adding a Calendar section to the Main Page, as it builds off the original proposal but does not completely overturn the decision. Basically, within 60 days, you can't have a proposal that would return things to the way they were before the original proposal. Does that help? --

Stub Proposal
I had to remove your Stub Proposal, sorry. It wasn't specific enough - merging stubs has to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. For example, you could try making a Proposal just about the DiC trilogy you used as your example, and then once that passes (and is enacted) or fails, then you can move on to another group of stubs. Again, I'm sorry about all this. - 23:34, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

Another Proposal Header
Wow, three Proposal-themed headers in a row - you're on a roll! (When I first joined all I did was proposal stuff too!) Anyway, sorry for being so brutal about the Majority Proposal, but in academics you gotta defend your ideas with tooth and nail, and I never make exceptions. Still, you fixed it up well, and I am glad you made me one of the Proposers. I'm also happy you finalized the numbers, since I was still up in the air about the amount of votes needed for a clear lead, and about how long the proposal should be extended for. I'm really busy these days too (actually, my parent's anniversary is coming up as well), so I couldn't find the time to sit down and finalize anything. Still, you might try making drafts of your proposals and whatnot before posting (and always remember to preview at least once to catch anything you've missed), to avoid these sort of mishaps in the future. (I preview things multiple times, but I'm obsessive.) - 23:30, 7 April 2009 (EDT)


 * One more thing: if/when the proposal passes, let me add the new rule. I already wrote it up and have it saved on my computer. I also penned - well, typed, but that's not how the expression goes - a comment to put on the Proposal Talk Page to elaborate on the rule and give examples for future reference. Seeing as the policy is a little elaborate, I wanted to make sure the rule will be 100% clear on what it means. - 21:09, 10 April 2009 (EDT)

Just a question
But is related to you?

Part 1
Yeah, my proposal was off; 60 days is too long. But, it got things going in the right direction. Just one question: Some months are longer than others. How are you defining "a month"? I think it should be just 30 days to avoid confusion.

Part 2
28; it's four weeks.

OK
I see you're pretty new to the wiki and you're already getting up there. Nice job! Talk to me anytime.
