" Non-governmental organization such as Amnesty International often use petitions in an attempt to exert moral authority in support of various causes."
Is there a reason this was removed? It is a somewhat biased comment, but removing it would also be somewhat biased...? I will replace if nobody objects to it within 24 hours. -- StonedChipmunk 00:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Replaced. Also testing new signature (but still, I replaced the comment). --The preceding signed comment was added by StonedChipmunk and you can contact them here. 18:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Also re-added link to petitionspot.com as it's not advertising (it's under the category Petition Sites, you moron). --The preceding signed comment was added by StonedChipmunk and you can contact them here. 19:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Petitions.pm.gov.uk requires an email address in order to sign - why can't we vote in private?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.188.192.41 ( talk) 09:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
I'm afraid that there is a trade-off to be made between allowing anyone to sign the petitions regardless of having an email address, and protecting the petitions from too much abuse. We have come down on the side of using one email address per person to act as an anti-abuse mechanism because it is now possible for anyone to get an email address for free in a few moments. On the converse, if we let people use one address to sign multiple times we will likely see considerable fake signatures almost straight away.
I am writing a thesis on politics and government, I am trying to find out how and where to file a petition to run for President of the United States. If you can help me please send answers to jacquesr2@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.30.133.50 ( talk) 23:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

And should Wikipedia have an article about it? I recently heard about international petitions, and I could only find petitions to sign, but no other information. Wikipedia have several articles that mention it, and at least I could learn in Arndt Pekurinen that they were already used in 1930. Seems like they have an interesting history, and some of them seems notable. What do you say? Kind regards, Dodoïste ( talk) 14:02, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Gopetition went as oldest museum of fun with many names just by ukranian | russian | germans, by the AT&T no: 1 Liberal business doer of the USA? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.65.96.127 ( talk) 14:30, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
