*'''How many reasons will we keep, with all others after them being deleted?''' Having only one reason from the original nominator is reasonable, IMO.

*'''Will it be obligatory for the nominator to give a ("valid") reason?''' I'd tend to say no, but for the sake of the compromise, I would agree to require a reason for the first supporter that in some way relates to the quality of the article. However, when we're in doubt, we should assume good faith in the nominator (i.e., "I like it" would be sufficient, no need to repeat each and every FA condition).

*'''How do we inform users of the changes?''' It would probably be sufficient to edit the [[MarioWiki:Featured Articles|FA]] page, and the message that appears when one tries to nominate an article (don't know how it's called, it's at the top of [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?action=edit&preload=Template%3APreload%2Ffa&editintro=Template%3AFAintro%E2%80%8E&title=MarioWiki%3AFeatured+Articles%2FN%2FToad&create=Nominate this] page). The reasons that will be added regardless of those notices can be removed manually.

*'''Should we make a proposal before we amend the changes?''' I'd say no, since there have not been any objections to the basic idea. Also, it's really just an administrative issue, those are usually handled without proposals.

:::Yes, it's all in the rules: at the top of the [[MarioWiki:Featured Articles|FA page]], it says that the new rules do not apply to Unfeature nominations; and in the [[MarioWiki:Featured Articles/Unfeature|Unfeature sub-page]], it says that "not only opposers, but also supporters need to give reasons for their vote". {{User:Time Q/sig}} 11:28, 28 February 2010 (EST)
