Therefore, please vote on the three articles which you feel deserve to be the finalists in this year's contest. You may change your votes at any time. I am presenting them alphabetically by article name. You can click on the links below to get acquainted (or re-acquainted) with these articles before you vote!

Just dropping in real quick to say that I haven't forgotten this, it's just been a wacky few days. Hopefully I will have time today to post the final poll. It shouldn't take that long to format, but I still want to be able to set the time aside to do it right. :)
