== Final results ==
=== Question 1 ===
Yes, FloraC will be granted bureaucrat permissions. (100% of 18 votes).
<br><br>
=== Question 2 ===
Yes, Fredg999 will be granted sysop permissions. (100% of 18 votes).
<br><br>
=== Question 3 ===
Yes, Fredg999 will be granted interface admin permissions. (100% of 18 votes).
<br><br>
=== Question 4 ===
Yes, Lériendil will be granted sysop permissions. (87.5% of 16 votes).
<br><br>
=== Question 5 ===
Yes, Lériendil will be granted interface admin permissions. (87.5% of 16 votes).
<br><br>
=== Question 6 ===
A. RTT pages (including Gene's) will be treated just the same as any other wiki page, not subject to extra protections just because they are RTT pages. (100% of 18 voters).
<br><br>
=== Question 7 ===
A. Mathematical content will be treated just the same as any other wiki content, any editor can check and update it. (100% of 17 voters).
<br><br>
=== Question 8 ===
C (Sintel). Any future admin nominations or removals should be discussed with everyone giving their opinions freely. After a set period the discussion closes and a bureaucrat reviews all of the arguments, and makes the final decision. The outcome should be based on community consensus (near unanimity) and not majority vote. (87.5% of 16 voters).

=== Question 9 ===
C (Sintel). Any future bureaucrat nominations or removals should be discussed with everyone giving their opinions freely. After a set period the discussion closes and another bureaucrat reviews all of the arguments, and makes the final decision. The outcome should be based on community consensus (near unanimity) and not majority vote. (86.7% of 15 voters).
<br><br>
=== Question 10 ===
F (Sintel). There should be a clear page protection policy (analogous to Wikipedia's protection policy). Protection can be done at the discretion of an admin, but the reasoning and duration should be clearly outlined on the talk page. To quote the Wikipedia policy:
"''Applying page protection solely as a preemptive measure is contrary to the open nature of Wikipedia and is generally not allowed. Instead, protection is used when vandalism, disruption, or abuse by multiple users is occurring at a frequency that warrants protection''."
Protection should be used sparingly and mostly as a last resort. Leaving pages protected indefinitely without leaving any path to unprotect them (as is happening now!) is unacceptable on a wiki.
