Additionally, you change from past tense to present tense halfway through the page; and change from first person to second person.

I was aware of and saw it was in past tense, 1st person.

It looks like you've likely eliminated all examples of the voting mechanic. As I said, I would kinda like it back for my leg of it here. Can you please provide the framing for how that's supposed to work along with a few example options? I can fill those in myself later. Jemini (talk) 06:45, 13 February 2020 (CET)
You can find examples of how to make polls on this page Format_Rules/Polls. You might want to mention that the polls sometimes need one to refresh the page for them to work properly. --Elerneron (talk) 15:21, 13 February 2020 (CET)
