The format given in this straw poll invites more diverse replies than this alternative format. I suppose in a straw poll, response diversity is to be encouraged, so this seems like the preferred structure. Rod (A. Smith) 22:18, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
- On second though, I'd rather focus this straw poll on the two options that currently have the most support and are most readily usable. I replaced this vote on WT:VOTE with Wiktionary:Votes/2007-08/style for mentioned terms. If that is acceptable, please revoke this vote. If not, I'd be happy to discuss further. Rod (A.

It might be helpful to incorporate some of the following background and intended use of this vote, from Wiktionary:Votes/2007-08/style for mentioned terms:
- The draft template
{{term}} is meant to help format mentioned terms and phrases. {{term}} uses a default style for Latin script (a.k.a. “Roman script”) mentions of terms and phrases and allows each reader to override the default with a custom style. The draft Wiktionary:Etymology suggests to use italics for Latin script mentions in etymologies, but Wiktionary:Votes/2006-12/form-of style concluded that the default style for mentions in “form of” definitions should be bold while allowing each reader to override that with a custom style.
- This straw poll will determine the preliminary preference for the default, reader-overridable style for Latin script mentions within running text (e.g. within ===Etymology=== and ====Usage notes==== sections). The result will be incorporated into the '.mention' class of MediaWiki:Common.css, which is used by the unofficial template
{{term}}. If necessary, a '.use-with-mention .mention' class will be added to preserve the “form-of” default chosen in Wiktionary:Votes/2006-12/form-of style. No decision reached in this straw poll will be made into formal policy without a subsequent official vote.
Of course, it would need to be altered to fit the multiple-option format of this vote. Thoughts? Rod (A. Smith) 22:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
It seems that this vote hasn't been closed or opened and the end date has already passed. I've refreshed a few times to double check. How can I close it to get it out of the category of unclosed votes? Thecurran 01:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
