+Initial revisions of this page did not follow the correct establishment process as provided for under

+*Title: On Creation - for North Americans
+*Question: What do you understand by
"create
". As it is hypothesized that the meaning may be different
in different parts of
the world
, we have established two votes for this poll to determine if this is a factor. Refer http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/create
+*Selection: single
+*Option 1: Creation Requires Intent (i.e. creation can
only be performed by
a thinking being)
+*Option 2: Creation Does Not Require Intent (i.e. anything which is produced is created)
+*Option 3: I'm not from North America and will answer
the Global Version of this Poll.

+*Class: informational
+*Closes: Indefinite. Anytime after 60% or greater of equity polled.
+*Adjudication: The North American and Global polls will be normalized, including only votes for Options one and two. These will then be compared to establish whether there is a national difference in the responses.
+Application: The poll results will determine the primary meaning of "Create|Creation" in the Virian lexicon. Should significant support (>20% on either poll) be shown for both meanings, both meanings will be reflected in the [VirianLexicon
] as alternates. Should a geographic bias be apparent (>20% difference after normalization), this will be reflected in the [VirianLexicon]. Should either meaning not receive all of the votes (after normalization and summing) the word will marked as depreciated.
+*Restricted: Unrestricted. All Virians

__The dispute over the meaning of "create" and "creation" is characterised by the following excerpts__
[David Lucifer|DavidLucifer] I already mentioned that the act of creation does not require intent. The universe was created in the big bang. New stars are created out of the remnants of supernovas. The elements that give rise to life were created in stars. None of this happened with intent as far as we know.
