<p>I think that community wiki that ask for a best x questions should include all possible candidats for x as answers to allow everyone to rank them.</p>

<p>I don't see a good reason to have the x that the questioner starter proposes in the question itself as done in <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/103/what-is-your-favorite-data-visualization-blog">What is your favorite data visualization blog?</a> or <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/114/what-statistical-blogs-would-you-recommend">What statistical blogs would you recommend?</a>. The alternative is done in <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/423/what-is-your-favorite-data-analysis-cartoon">What is your favorite &quot;data analysis&quot; cartoon?</a> .</p>

<p>Having all possible x as candidates would allow the best x to rise to the top regardless of whether they come from the person who create the community wiki question.</p>

<p>What do you think?</p>
