Featured Story is a requirement, for the simple reason that this wiki is supposed to be about stories.

As for Noah's picture, not only has it attracted a lot of questionable opposition (which, for my money, looks like retribution for Noah voting against Toad's pic), it has also attracted a lot of sketchy support. In the last few days, we've had at least four invalid votes from people who didn't have 100 legitimate edits even after considering deleted edits, and at least two of those hadn't made any previous (legitimate) edits here at all before voting. This suggests that someone--possibly Noah, but not necessarily--is either campaigning outside the wiki, using sockpuppets to stulff the ballot box, or both.

One of these dubious supporters had the gall to make 100 fluff edits in order to claim voting eligibility. The admins take a dim view of people who try to game the system, so the only reason I didn't permablock this guy is because Reddy beat me to it.
