I think a good idea for this page would be to include information on algorithms that pop up in multiple places i.e. Kemeny-Young attempts to check all possible rankings, compute a score for each, and find the highest-scored ranking, so if there's an algorithm that can do that and do something in other methods, it probably should be documented here.

:: I think this article could be a good place to talk about tractability i.e. here is how tractable the algorithms to handle optimal cardinal PR methods are, here is a quick way to calculate this part of a pairwise matrix if you have X information, etc. [[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy|BetterVotingAdvocacy]] ([[User talk:BetterVotingAdvocacy|talk]]) 05:48, 24 March 2020 (UTC) |

::: I agree with [[User:Psephomancy]]. There's not a great reason for Electowiki to have a [[Computer science]] article when Wikipedia already has one (at [[w:Computer science]]). There ''might'' be a reason for a generalized article about the algorithmic complexity of various election methods, but someone should try drafting the article in their user space, and then we can figure out where to move it. (hmmm...maybe a "Draft:" namespace like Wikipedia would be appropriate on Electowiki) -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 04:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC) |
