Formally allowing the "Glyph origin" section in entries.

Section placement:

   Support: this is a helpful section, and I agree that it can be different from word etymologies. Nicole Sharp (talk) 10:54, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

   This vote ended a week ago. Sometimes, people cast "late votes" to show further consensus (or lack thereof) after the vote ended. That's OK, but they don't count for the final decision, naturally. I'm removing your vote from the numerical list now. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 17:04, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Oppose

Abstain

1. Better Abstain 'cause I don't edit in these languages. But proposal does not sound bad as far as I can tell. Equinox ◑ 22:17, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
2. Abstain. I'm leaning towards oppose, because I think the visual representation of a word is just as much a matter for etymology as the meaning and path of its inheritance/borrowing. However, I don't edit in the relevant languages, so I don't think it would be appropriate/fair for me to do anything other than abstain. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 00:18, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
3. Abstain. --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:43, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
