 * 3) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support  just one minor point: the Russian transliteration should indicate the stress, as we do this for all Russian words (apel’sín). -- Prince Kassad 08:25, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|20px]] Support. I'm not sure I agree with giving RP pronunciations and tagging them simply as "UK" pronunciations, but that's a matter for a separate discussion. —Ruakh TALK 14:43, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] Oppose I would have supported those modifications on the spot, had it not been for the fifth point. Since I as a foreign speaker of English consider the Received Pronunciation the way to pronounce English comme il faut, I am unable to support the removal (or its being rendered facultative) of the information providing the befitting and apposite pronunciation (which I have been mastering for some time), since it is in my humble opinion indispensable. From the point of view of native speakers this might seem expendable, because in North America hardly anyone cares about RP and in Britain it is part of daily life and is hardly being noticed, but for a foreign learner of the language this information is in very sooth momentous.

 * ELE is supposed to be language independent; the content being removed in point 5 belongs at WT:AEN. Either way, wouldn't it make sense to support the other changes, even if you don't support point five? --Yair rand (talk) 06:43, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It would have made sense, if the explicit recommendation to add RP had been moved to WT:AEN (where there is no trace of Received Pronunciation at all) and only then this vote had come into consideration. In its present form, I cannot support the removal of that recommendation altogether, because it would cease to be official policy. If you reword the 5th point in the form of e. g. Move the text “UK pronunciations […] ” to WT:AEN (so that it continues to be official policy), I shall vote for the changes. If you consent, feel free to change the 5th point and I shall duly change my vote as well. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 06:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have added "(Content will be moved to WT:AEN)" to the point. Okay? --Yair rand (talk) 07:03, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, to the Pronunciation section, I suppose? The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 07:11, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Decision

 * Passes. --Yair rand (talk) 21:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
