User blog comment:Sprinklemist/Should Featured Image voting discontinue? (Admins please comment, but anyone can reply)/@comment-1874924-20100430044653

To clarify, I did not mean to suggest that the admins might routinely prefer their own work; I was referring, rather, to specific cases wherein the "best" image, or one of the "best", happens to be by an admin. That's where the ethical dilemma could arise.
