1. Support my own design (well, not really my own, based entirely off others). Zafiroblue05 23:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
2. Support.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 23:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC) EDIT: My reasons for liking it are how it uses both the Portal approach—in a away that people will see elswhere— without taking up too much space for icons. It also has the search box featured prominently, which though redundant, is a great advantage of a computerized source. It reatins the classic tagline, "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.", while also having the number of articles featured without taking up a whole line. It presents five features without making it feel large or unwieldy. Also, the stuf that gets updated is in one type of box and the stuff that's static in another. All around a great idea. However, the POTD needs to be updating. --HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 23:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
3. I guess I can get behind this. Ashibaka tock 01:07, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
4. Support - Ø tVaughn05 ^talk_contribs 02:23, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
5. I like this one too.--nixie 03:01, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
6. OK by me. POTD below and clear c&lc portal links. Metarhyme 11:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
7. Support. I like this one, too. Solves the problem of having to fill the sixth area by eliminating it entirely. Plus, adds the search box up top, which will save the folks at the Reference Desk a lot of grief. — BrianSmithson 16:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
8. Good except for the colors. - ElAmericano | talk 16:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
9. Support I think this is the best so far, and has the best chance of keeping people from winding up at the reference desk instead of searching. Black Carrot 19:56, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
10. Strong support I love this draft!--Fito 01:22, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
11. Good This one is very good, becuase it has the searchbar. That is by far the most important thing. The Italian based one is a little better though becuase of the colors. However, this one is layed out better. Tobyk777 01:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
12. Strong support This one is the best one. The categories are spread out and do not stand out on the page like the rest of the drafts. sikander 12:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
13. I like this design best. I think the arrangement of the 4 sections is best, the list of subjects at the top is on 1 line which keeps it unobtrusive and requires less scrolling, and the search feature is also at the top, which as someone else mentioned, is better too. The colors are fine (colors are minor and can always be altered later anyway). The current main page is decent, but i think H improves it. SpookyMulder 12:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
14. Support My favorite version, for reasons above.--Joewithajay 13:54, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
15. Support Very nice, althou I think the categorizations should somewhat be changed. Health is un-necesary. Foant 14:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
16. Support Definitely the most aesthetically pleasing draft, I feel. The placement of sections and colours means that no one colour gets repetitive. It's genuinely nice to look at. Kupos 19:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
17. Support Looks much nicer. Couldn't be simpler. Hohohob 22:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
18. Support In my opinion, they all look good but this is the best one. — Ilyanep (Talk) 12:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
19. Strong support Absolutely the best in the batch. I like the Search bar, the colours, the minimalistic header boxes, all. One point: what would it look like without the Main page draft interlinks and the headertext? I'm afraid the boxed search thing might not look ideal if it's stuck at the very top of the page. -- Ec5618 14:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Here's a draft that didn't have the links... Zafiroblue05 17:51, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I still can't tell how much whitespace would be left at the top, and how the banner at the top would look together with the 'article', 'discussion', etc-bar at the very top. -- Ec5618 18:13, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
20. Support - the best of the bunch. Clean layout, nice use of colour and fits in a lot of info without becoming cluttered. Spanning the two columns at the bottom for featured picture is a good idea, allowing enough space for a decent size picture to exist with the text if needed. The addition of the Community links below that are also good. My only suggestion would be to add some complementary colour to the bordered welcome / search box area at the top (in the manner of Draft 6G), or de-border it and centre the welcome message and search box side by side over the links immediately below. Nice entry.--Cactus.man ✍ 16:25, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
21. Support This is by far my favorite, clean and simple MechBrowman 17:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
22. Strong support All of the features I like, none of the features I hate. I particularly like the more streamlined browser bar. Microtonal 17:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
23. Extremely impressed with this draft. It makes the most sense to me, seems streamlined and professional, as well as open to more possibilities. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 04:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
24. Support This was easily my favourite as I liked its layout. Other reasons mentioned above are also relevent. --Hamedog^Talk|@ 14:04, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
25. Support -nice searchbox.--Urthogie 21:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
26. Support ---Mister D 01:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
27. Support - for reasons, see discussion pages about the drafts. Carcharoth 12:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
