User blog:Webly/New Proposal- Wiki President

In my previous blog, I told you guys that I had some proposals for the wiki. This is my first proposal. At the end of what I propose, I'll hold a poll asking whether you support this idea or do not agree with the idea. The idea is kind of like a rough draft. Stuff will be changed.

A lot of times people complain about having no say in admin blogs which is not the admins fault, you aren't an admin. With Wiki President, people would have more say. Let me explain the whole idea. If one was to be elected Wiki President, they would have two votes in Admin Blogs (one for themselves and the other being the people's representation) and they would hold all admin blogs. They would oversee all wiki bans and have to choose how to deal with the bans. A President MUST propose a proposal once a month. It could be as a simple as a slight rule change but it must be a valid proposal. When you're running for President, you'll say your ideas that you'll try to make happen if you become President. Overall, the President would not have to work too much harder unless the President was previously a non-admin. A Wiki President could be any user (yes, even a non-admin). The President may have a few more duties but I highly doubt it would be much more.

If this idea succeeds (which I hope it does), in a week users will announce whether they are running for President. We may have as little candidates as five or as many candidates as twenty. In the next week, people will vote in blog comments of my next blog for the five people they would like to see running for Wiki President. Anyone with 100 edits can vote for this round. Then, I will tally the votes and five users will go on to the next round. The next round would be a debate in chat with rules that would ensure that it wouldn't be super sloppy like last year's Wiki Awards, I apologize about that. Users (with at least 6 months on the wiki and over 300 edits) will ask questions regarding what the user would do in the case of becoming Wiki President. It would only be a 45-minute debate. There would also be a mediator for this debate. That night in chat, all users eligible would cast a vote on which two they would like to officially go on the next round and run for Wiki President. From there, users with at least 6 months on the wiki and over 300 edits will give their votes to me somewhere private and by the end of the week I will tally the votes. I can run and if this idea succeeds I will run.

The President would stay President for 1 year. They could drop out at any time. If it goes well, we'd have another election but if it didn't work out, it'd just be a one-time thing. You may say a president is not needed but it'll keep the wiki progressing which is something that we are struggling with.

Any questions? Please only vote on the poll only if you fully understand this blog.

Do you support this idea? Yes. No.
