Read the Policies and guidelines.
Add yourself to the New user log.
Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax ^τεχ 15:43, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WDSC Vfd[edit]

Bainer, you wrote:

Delete, original research. The pages that are crosslinked to this page are all about other terms invented by Mike Ossipoff. I will change to keep if someone can actually provide a source that uses any of these techniques.

I want to ask you what you would consider an acceptable source here. Finding usage of these terms on the election methods mailing list would be quite easy. I will link to some messages that were not written by Mike Ossipoff, but use the terms SDSC, WDSC, or FBC: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] KVenzke 04:38, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. What I was looking for were some examples of where this is actually used in practice, or where the theory of it is discussed elsewhere than election-methods.org or the related mailing lists. A quick Google search turns up results mostly from WP, WP mirrors or other wikis. Of course, I'd be happy for you to prove me wrong, but as it stands, this qualifies in my mind as original research. --bainer (talk) 05:21, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Voting with 3 Slots that is not quite MCA[edit]

Hello! Sorry for the attention whoring, but I found your comments very profound so could you please check my electorama wiki article?

Bucklin[edit]

You may be interested to know that there is a dispute about the Bucklin voting page ongoing. The issues are:

Can the term "Bucklin voting" comprehend systems which allow equal and/or skipped rankings?
If so, do such systems meet the IIA and Clone independence criteria?

(One possible answer to either question is that we can't say either way because we don't have relevant citations to reliable sources. In that case, we must choose what we can say.)

Your participation in the discussion might help us attain consensus.
