Yet another evil plan of world domination... bwahaha... No, serious! What about inverting the order of VFH entries, so the older ones appear at the top? It seems to me that the entries most in need of votes are the ones catching less attention. -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 23:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I thinks flipping the order would just make it too tough for new entries to get traction; giving us the same problem, but flipped around. --Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Probably. Maybe I'm asking too much but is there a way to randomize the order? -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 00:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Another option, but maybe also complicated. If it worked as a Forum Topic, like Pee Review, the last voted articles would always appear on top. But I'm just speculating. -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 00:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Better put, not like Pee Review, which just shows the title, but as some user talks consisted of subpages. -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 00:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I tend to start at the bottom and work my way up generally as that way I get the older stuff dealt to as the new stuff piles up at the top. Ceridwyn^talk _contribs ^arc2.0 01:42, 05 May 2007

I especially take umbrage with this, as the entry for my PLS-winning article has stagnated. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 02:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw that, NeedABrain. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 02:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

But I've already voted for you. ;) -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 02:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Ditto, and 17 votes total is fairly average at the moment I'd say! Ceridwyn^talk _contribs ^arc2.0 02:20, 05 May 2007

I especially especially take umbrage, as my featured article is, to date, the worst sufferer of stagnation (it was featured with only 11 votes in total after a couple weeks on VFH). I support the concept of this, though it seems whichever way we restructure it some articles are going to end up getting ignored any way. -- T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 02:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

What if I say that I have a 15 votes quasi-featured? Weird, aint it? -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 02:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Has it occurred to you to try and improve your article if you want it featured? Ok, so it won the noob category at PLS, but you would think with your greater experience you'd now be able to make it a lot better. It nearly made it last time, it hasn't changed and it'll probably just miss out again. Funny that... --Kelpan 15:09, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I improved the article and, on second try, it got just 8 votes... hehehe. People just don't like VFH rematches, not without reason. -- herr doktor needsAgear  [scream!] 15:12, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I've got some ideas. --Sir OCdt Jedravent CUN UmP VFH PLS ACS WH 17:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
