So less than a third of the total who ran in en.wikipedia's arbcom elections. Are people now going to accept that [[MediaWiki:Watchdetails]] provides enough profile for this kind of notice?
By your logic we would conclude that a watchlist only site notice gets higher visability than the system wide one.
I believe Geni's logic is that there are fewer people in the Board election than in the ArbCom election, and thus that the interest in the latter is greater than in the former, justifying a less prominent notice.
At least I think that's the logic...
No I'm pointing out that something that was advertised through [[MediaWiki:Watchdetails]] ended up with more than 3 times as many candidates and something that was advertised through banner ads on every single project. This provides further evidence that [[MediaWiki:Watchdetails]] is a perfectaly adiquate method for advertising things.
Incerdentaly for those following this it is now 69 days since there was 24 hours without something in [[mediawiki:Sitenotice]].
