Line 13:
: IRV is still the term which everybody uses. RCV is used by one organization in one country. Also, "Rank Choice" refers to the ballot not the system. Nobody in the voting theory community would use RCV in an academic paper. --[[User:Dr. Edmonds|Dr. Edmonds]] ([[User talk:Dr. Edmonds|talk]]) 02:19, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
:: My point is that AFAICT, none of the English-speaking nations that actually use IRV call it IRV. (update) Australia, NZ, Papua call it Preferential Voting. US & Canada call it RCV. UK calls it Alternative Vote. Ireland & India call it STV. So it can't possibly be correct to say it's "the term which everybody uses". - [[User:Frankie1969|Frankie1969]] ([[User talk:Frankie1969|talk]]) 13:21, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
::: It appears to be called "instant-runoff voting" on English Wikipedia (see [[w:Instant-runoff voting]]). I'm not inclined to go against the consensus over there. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 20:56, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
