Not always
No, I'm not always right! It's just that I make enough contributions that on the law of averages I'm probably right some of the time, like a monkey on a typewriter :)

Anyway, thanks very much for your nice comment about me (flattery goes a long way! ), but my real reason for coming here was to say that it's quite acceptable change your mind at AFD, or on any other discussion on wikipedia ... indeed, I'd go further, and say that its actually encouraged as an important part of consensus-forming. The principle is that these are discussions, not votes, win which we should all listen carefully to each others arguments, and be ready to change our mind if persuaded.

When people change their mind, they will often refer to their contribution as "!vote" (computer-speak for a "not-vote"), to underline the point. They way this is normally done is to strike out your previous  !vote (using  tags), and then write a new !vote saying why you changed your mind, as in this example


 * Delete No references at all to establish notability per WP:BIO, may not even exist. --ElectricBanana, 10:55 UTC
 * changing my !vote, see below. --ElectricBanana, 13:21 UTC
 * Keep. Notability established per WP:BIO through refs (now added to the article) to feature articles on xxxxxx in the Ballyporeen Examiner, the Allihies Independent and the Glendalough Gazette. --AgnosticKangaroo 12:13 UTC
 * Keep per AgnosticKangaroo (changing my !vote). --ElectricBanana, 13:21 UTC

Re: Transition Towns
Well done! Did you know that you can also nominate the article so it will appear on the Main Page? The rules are available here. After you are sure the article meets the rules, visit this page and add the fact from the article under the day it was created. See some examples available there first. Overall, very nice job on the article. Best,  Milk’s Favorite Cookie    (Talk)  15:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
