Papal election[edit]

(Uncontested -- 17 July)

Self-nomination. The page was at "conclave," but I have moved it because the article now covers pre-conclave elections as well. -- Emsworth 23:27, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Object: needs fuller captions. Other than that I support it. 195.167.169.36 13:11, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • I don't see a need for a fuller caption for "folded ballot paper." That paper is shown to illustrate the notes; essentially, the notes are the caption. In any event, I think anyone can see the relevance of a ballot paper to the election. For the Camerlengo proclaiming a papal death, again the caption explains the relevance sufficiently, IMHO. The only problem is with the Sistine Chapel picture, which I have just addressed. -- Emsworth 14:31, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • This is slightly off topic, but do we allow unsigned votes here? I think we should adopt the same policy as VFD, and only allow signed votes, to avoid dupes. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:57, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
      • FAC is not a vote. Anyone can list improvements that should be made before an article is featured. Pcb21| Pete 23:52, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Support. Can we get a good picture or illustration of the smoke signals? I always wondered what those looked like. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:57, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
