 * Comment

Ill-advised repurposing of a deleted template. Encourages discussion-by-bold-words by implying that anything which isn't a "!vote" (urgh) has to be prefaced by some flag as such. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:34, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That's not how I've ever read it. I see "Comment" as the opposite of "Reply" or response.  It's more of a general "Hey, I've got something new to say".  That's my take anyway. (see, I didnt !vote)--v/r - TP 14:23, 25 May 2012 (UTC)


 * delete per deletion of template:support and template:oppose. Frietjes (talk) 22:51, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Is there no need for such templates? --High Contrast (talk) 08:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There is an anti-need for them. Anything you type into a discussion is a "comment": markup templates like this simply create confusion by making some false distinction between "comments" and something else. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 10:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I think this issue demands a differentiated approach by you. It is true that any comment is a "comment". But like on Commons, here on Wikipedia are votings, too. Markup templates like this simply helps to differ plain "comments" from "keep" or "delete" votes in order to prevent confusion. --High Contrast (talk) 12:18, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, that is fundamentally not the case. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No, this is fundamentally not true. Featured picture candidates is a plain poll. There, the single users share their thoughts about any image in short messages where mostly no discussion is needed or possible because it is a simple list of opinions. During this process a markup could make sense. --High Contrast (talk) 21:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know why FPC is worded as a vote, but it shouldn't be, and we certainly shouldn't encourage any more such thiking by having voting templates. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:38, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Consequently, your disagreement with this template is based on personal liking. It is ok being against such templates. Why not? But accusing someone who creates such templates as a person that ignores "fundamental Wikimedia principles" is strange. --High Contrast (talk) 15:58, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

<hr style="width:55%;" /> On Commons, such a template is widely used. --High Contrast (talk) 09:34, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This isn't Commons. Commons has a very much more vote-centric culture than Wikipedia. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 08:01, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Commons has not a much more vote-centric culture than Wikipedia. It has more votes about files. But there are also file polls in Wikipedia. As I pointed out above, in such polls (e.g. featured pictures) such a template may be useful. --High Contrast (talk) 09:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It may make people from Commons feel more at home on this one specific part of Wikipedia, but it's not obvious that it would actually improve the quality of discourse. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Clear keep It's used like question in many situations. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 12:53, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Definite keep Per Bwilkins, and is handy when working with drafts, AfC, or students as part of the WP:USEP. Don't really see why this is proposed for deletion (or support and oppose were deleted as referenced in the nomination).  AndrewN  talk 05:15, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

I think that this template violates some part of the template namespace guidelines. --Kasper2006 (talk) 05:42, 25 May 2012 (UTC) <hr style="width:55%;" />
