Nope. Articles new enough to appear in the latest 10 haven't been there (in general) long enough to get a representative sample of unbiased votes. I'd rather present them on their own merits, unencumbered by a rating. At least for the 12 hrs they appear in that list.

A good point, however the 'Latest Best Picks' shows the number of votes. I'm suggesting you leave it to the user to determine if a score of 2 with 3 votes has any meaning. To me showing the score and number of votes _is_ unbiased. From what i've seen, articles that receive a 1 or 2, or a 4 or 5 with only a couple of votes generally aren't too far off the mark. I made the suggestion based on that observation; having gone in to look at many articles over the years, only to see they were useless and noticed they would have a 1 or 2.
