@Tausendberg: Yeah, I had already noted that in most of these Featured Article polls there has been an overwhelming agreement very early in the voting, and the waiting time of 3 days seems pointless.

However, I think it would be unfair if we close the voting before the agreed waiting time. Even if the support for Marco is absolute for now, there is still a -little- chance that another option wins if the users that hadn't put their inputs show up.

I had suggested that the discussions for Featured Image and Featured Article should only be open for 2 days, and the discussion for the Chapter Poll for 4 days. Even one day could be fine for the discussion for Featured Article, which is usually quickly decided.

Let's see what thinks, and if it would be fine if we close the poll earlier, or we leave the waiting time as it is and apply a different time for the next poll.
