This is going to be where keep a journal of my Electowiki-related thoughts and ideas. Sort of like a blog, but I have a blog at https://robla.blog , and that's where I do my "blogging". This will be my journal writing about Electowiki-related stuff. Moreover, my editing of the section for the day will be pretty free form. See [[User:RobLa/Journal#2020-05-18|my "2020-05-18" entry]] for more of my thoughts (that I wrote on May 18th).

1/ I'm going to use the bulleted list to break things up today:
* wiki editing minutia
** I'm not going to use the [[Template:fauxheader]] on the top of this page after all. I'm just going to create it by hand.
** [[VisualEditor]] seems to want section headings to be like <code><nowiki>====2020-06-05====</nowiki></code> and not like <code><nowiki>==== 2020-06-05 ====</nowiki></code>, and dirties up my diffs when I try to use it. Grrr....
* [[EndFPTP]] discussion about [[Schulze method]]
** I added this to the [[Schulze method]] article:
*** [https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/gwik8c/what_are_the_key_disadvantages_of_the_schulze/ "What are the key disadvantages of the Schulze method?" (2020-06-04)] - a discussion started on [[EndFPTP]] regarding the possible disadvantages of Schulze's method.
** I decided to participate in the discussion. Here's the link to my comment, which resulted in a discussion about Wikimedia's use of Schulze:
*** https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/gwik8c/what_are_the_key_disadvantages_of_the_schulze/fsx6w2e/
** One of my former WMF colleagues (Brad Jorsch, one of the devs who worked on [[mw:Extension:SecurePoll|Extension:SecurePoll]], and was the main developer in the [[mw:SecurePoll/Redesign|2014 SecurePoll redesign project]]) found a few links to give me in my general request for links:
*** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_elections/2011/Post_mortem#Voting_process
*** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2019#Voting_system
*** https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_2013
* [[EM list]] discussion about Score Sorted Margins and [[Sequential Monroe voting]]
** Ted Stern sent out an interesting email about ^those methods
*** http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2020-June/002531.html
** The math is a little much for me to parse out right now, and I haven't read the electionscience forum thread from January that he linked to. But Ted always does really clear-headed analysis, so I kinda want to figure out the math at some point.
I have more thoughts, and things to put on my [[User:RobLa/TODO]], but first, I should go have dinner.
