Sunday, 23 May 2010, a proposal concerning several changes in our current [[Main Page]] was accepted by the community and passed. This proposal can be viewed [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_21#Main_Page_Overhaul|here]].  


One point this proposal addressed was the creation of a Poll committee, a selected group of users to create and select polls to feature on the Main Page. The members of this committee are meant to be selected by a person in charge of the committee, the '''Poll Committee Chairperson''', who shall be '''elected by the community'''. The second annual Poll Committee Chaiperson Election is taking place here.

I'm sure I may seem familiar to most viewing this page. To those who do not recognize me, I am the incumbent Poll Committee Chairperson. I am throwing my hat in the ring to be reelected to the post.

...And as mentioned above, there is a lot more I could include to demonstrate that I have been in positions of management, leadership, and representation, but I feel what I have listed will sufficiently show this. But here is where I must state how I will continue to follow the qualifications that the Poll Chairperson must meet and how I will change the way I do things to further meet them:

*If elected, the members of the Committee ({{User|Stooben Rooben}}, {{User|Edofenrir}}, {{User|Gamefreak75}}, {{User|Marioguy1}}, {{User|SolarBlaze}}, and {{User|Twentytwofiftyseven}}) will remain on the team. They have excelled at their jobs and should be commended for what and how they contribute to the Committee's discussion and work.

*{{User|Stooben Rooben}} will remain Vice-Chairman (my surrogate), and will succeed to the position of Chairperson if, in any case, I must resign.

*I will actively take part in the Poll Committee discussion. However, I will not take an active role in suggesting polls or voting in them. This is because I feel that it is my job to '''lead''' (and not '''run''') the Committee. This means that anything that does not require direct executive intervention should not be intervened with. The current Poll Committee members have been doing an awesome job at nominating and voting, and they should continue without me interfering. However, I will still carry out tie-breaking votes or other kind of necessary votes that will ensure a poll being put on the Main Page every other week.

====[[User:Stooben Rooben|Vice-Chairman Candidate: Stooben Rooben]]====

My nomination for Poll Committee Vice-Chairperson is Stooben Rooben. As was mentioned the last time we both ran, he is a well-known member of the community and has always been willing to help out in processes and projects. He is responsible and has been there when I have needed him the most... He is qualified to hold this position again, and anybody who could argue otherwise is most certainly wrong. If I had to step down or lose my position for whatever reason, I trust that Stooben would be able to pick up where I left off and would be able to lead the Committee well.

#{{User|Baby Mario Bloops}} - SMB's statements and his performance over this last year has really made the Polls the best that it probably was ever. I'm positive that if he stays on that they are only going to get better.

#{{User|Hypnotoad}} - Per BMB
#{{User|Hypnotoad}} - Per BMB
#{{User|Smasher 101}} - Per BMB.
#{{User|Mario4Ever}} Credibility and experience are ultimately worth a lot more than promises and euphonic rhetoric. As the only candidate thus far to demonstrate the former, SMB gets my vote.
#{{User|Grapes}} - SMB has the talent for this job. After all he's pretty much experienced and has good attributes based on what is shown above. He has contributed much to this wiki as possible and that I thank him for. So why not? If he wins let's see what's in store for this wiki's future.
#{{User|Yoshiwaker}}
#{{User|Brock1221}} - Per BMB and Grapes. SMB has shown he is responsible and can handle the position. He wont resign the second he gets bored or the job gets tough.
#{{User|Fawfulfury65}} SMB is a responsible, mature, and experienced candidate and a great admin. He has given a lot of reasons to vote for him. I'm sure he can make the polls even better this year.
#{{user|Edofenrir}}

#{{User|Xzelion}} Per all.
#{{user|Gamefreak75}} Yeah!!!!!!!! Per all.

#{{User|Superfiremario}} Per all.
#{{User|MrConcreteDonkey}}
#{{User|Paper Yoshi}}
#{{User|Supremo78}} Per BMB. SMB is doing a great job right now with Directing the 'Shroom. Stooben and SMB are great users who know what they're doing, and I expect The 'Shroom being even better with them elected.
#{{User|Super Luigi! Number one!}}
===<s>'''[[User:Plumber|Plumber]]'''</s> / '''[[User:Xzelion|Xzelion]]''' ===
I was the Director of the 'Shroom, I am more than qualified for the position. It's time for Reform in this Poll Office!
Oh yeah, and {{User|Xzelion}} has agreed to be my running mate. I like SMB (and would vote for him if I weren't running) a lot, so I would keep him. Probably Crash, TB, Crash, SY, you know. Oh, Stooben's golden boy as well. If you want to join as well, just give me a line, or preferably add it in in the support section.
'''Oh yeah, and if I win, then I'll probably come back for good f'sho. Can't neglect my duty, etc.''''

# {{user|Toadbert101}}  He's done this before, knows his stuff and knows what we want
#{{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} why not since he's coming back and is a good user and all

#{{User|Super-Yoshi}} change we can believe in, also im coming back too since im on that list. oh and per tb.
==Comments==
So now that there are two campaigns that actually meet regulations, I will add this section (that should have been here a while ago). Now that we have two candidates, this election now qualifies for a debate. I suppose I'll communicate with Plumber to get a good date for this event. {{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 12:57, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
:I'm game for a Vice-Chairman debate if Xze's up for one. Dunno if it's really necessary, but it certainly could be interesting. Unfortunately, my real life schedule is as insane as ever, so it's doubtful that I'll be able to dedicate enough time to come on chat for as long as the debates would presumably take. I'll be actively checking out this page, though, so we could still have a bit of a debate on here, if I'm unable to spend enough time on chat. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} 23:52, 9 July 2011 (EDT)
::On the subject of the debates, the Chairperson Debate will probably be held in less than 22 hours (sorry for the short notice, but Plumber and I agreed that this would be the best time for both of us). So be sure to attend and think of what you might want to ask the candidates! I'm assuming this debate will be done in the style of the last 'Shroom Director Debate: the moderator is sent in questions by the attendants and poses them to the candidates. The moderator is also allowed to ask questions of his or her own. {{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 00:36, 10 July 2011 (EDT)


==='''[[User:HK-47|HK]]'''===
...And I cannot make the debate if it is at 10 PM EDT. I forgot I had previous plans, so hopefully we can set it to something else in time. {{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 13:46, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
Reason: Why the hell not? I created The 'Shroom. I'm a great guy, semi-legendary... And isn't it about time we had a new Administration in the office of Poll Committee? Just think about it.
:The debate has been cancelled. I'll talk with Plumber to see if anything can be planned for another day. Sorry for any inconvenience. {{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 19:55, 10 July 2011 (EDT)


If they'll have me, I'd like [[User:Xzelion|Xze]], [[User:Toadbert101|TB]], [[User:Master Crash|SPL]], and [[User:Super-Yoshi|S-Y]] as my running guys or whatever. I'd keep [[User:Super Mario Bros.|SMB]] on staff because I'm a good sport like that. Also, let's keep [[User:Stooben Rooben|Stooben]] because he is, in my experience, a very stand up guy. If for any reason, none of these Users wishes to be on a committee run by yours truly, I have back-ups in mind.
The debate has been rescheduled to take place in less than 18 hours. I'll post again as the debate grows closer with more information. {{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 02:20, 11 July 2011 (EDT)
=====Back-Ups=====

A recent debacle in chat has made me less eager to resume an active role in the MarioWiki community. For this reason, I am resigning, which leaves Xzelion currently running in my place, though he may resign of he wishes. {{User:Plumber/Pignature}} <small>aka</small> {{User:Xzelion 2.0/Brignature}}  19:55, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

The election is over. I'd like to thank everybody for their support, and I promise to make the next year, along with Stooben and the other members of the committee, extremely great. I'd like to say good work to Plumber and Xzelion, even though Plumber dropped his bid for the office: you both still did pretty good for joining late and you campaigned hard. {{User:Super Mario Bros./sig}} 16:23, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
