Wikipedia:Times that 100 Wikipedians supported something

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Echuck215 (talk | contribs) at 04:41, 29 May 2007 (→‎[[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|Requests for adminship]]). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of times when at least 100 Wikipedians (ideally excluding sock puppets) actually explicitly voted in support of something.

This page was created in May 2005 in reaction to the first admin candidate to receive 100 supports. The only previous cases of this happening were in Arbitration Committee elections. Due to the increasing number of Wikipedians, 100 supporting votes is no longer as rare, and WP:200 (Times that 200 Wikipedians voted support for something) now exists, as does WP:300 and even WP:400.
