Of course Meta participants can vote; Wiktionary isn't solely "owned"
by the people who most actively use it. It's a Wikimedia project,
first and foremost. I generally expect most people who use Meta to
respectfully give weight to the Wiktionarians, however, and not just
"vote" on impulse. Most of us do that.

And to ensure that we have Wiktionarian participation, this is where
"advertising" comes in. It should be promoted on the Village Pumps
and mailing lists, as well as on IRC. I don't think there's much more
we can do. If people don't pay attention to any of those, then I
can't see how much interest they actually have in their community.
(of course, one could also put it up in the Sitenotice).
