Several others (including myself) are inclined to agree. The current draft reads: Welcome, {{PAGENAME}}! We noticed that you placed a vote on [[{{{1}}}]]. Participation in the community is encouraged, of course, but your status as a brand new user means that your vote ''might not'' be counted. Voting on Wikipedia is meant to measure community concensus, and should not necessarily not be taken as literal voting. Please understand that this is a common practice on Wikipedia, and that it is necessary to prevent deliberate "loading" of our votes. However, we encourage you to make further contributions to Wikipedia and to become a valuable member of the community.
That's pretty good :-)
Aside from the extraneous "not" after the word "necessarily", I'd say it's VERY good. I like it.
