Like I promised in the previous approval, here's the next annual approval vote of the wiki's policies! This thread is a little belated to when I originally wanted to do it due to unexpected busyness this month, but better late than never right? ;)

As before, this is a community voting thread in approving the wiki policies as they are currently written. Each year, as the policies keep being revised, we'll have the community review them and sustain its current revision. Please cast your vote below so you can help us accomplish this task.

Community voting is still semi-new to the wiki—plus we've had a few newcomers join us these past couple of months—so if there are any questions about the voting process, don't hesitate to ask on this thread. :)
