Female candidate
I am pleased to vote for this female candidate, as part of my efforts to encourage female editors and create or improve biographical articles about women.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 20:05, 7 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Since when did sex become a merit? The vote should be due to that you think Opabinia regalis will do a good job and contribute to the project. BP OMowe (talk) 22:15, 9 December 2017 (UTC)


 * It is not a merit, but if the committee, or a wider scope, lacks in women, the above is a legit argument. Tomdo08 (talk) 21:24, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but this really does smack of tokenism. I'm also voting for O.r., despite being a candidate in competition, and it's because of competence not gender.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  17:53, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
