*The world isn't fair. Sadly, if she can't do anything but vote, then she'll have to wait until she can do other things. Because voting on things is not what this Wiki is about. It is about trying to contain all the knowledge in the Zelda universe. Featured articles and pictures are a way to motivate improvement. So unless the person is making valid edits, they should not vote. Because only people that know the ins and outs of the wiki can know what is truly acceptable. It is that simple. We are not voting on how we'd feel in the situation that the pictures depict. Even though you're most likely telling the truth, we technically have no proof that it is your sister and not you. That is why it is best not to run two accounts from the same household. If you guys did that on Wikipedia, you'd likely be blocked right off. There is a reason that many countries have a minimum voting age. We also cannot be sure if you are not influencing her votes. I can't make exceptions.

These votes are opinions of why people think pictures should or should not be featured. If your own opinion conflicts with the opinion of someone else... does that mean they're wrong? If someone feels strongly enough about a reason to deny an image to be featured they should at least be given a chance to have their votes counted. It isn't like people are trying to hurt the website by voting against an image. They are just trying to help it by giving a certain reason why they think it shouldn't be featured.
