(→‎2020-06-25: 2/ I made my first Quora post today (about pseudoanonymous identities. Also about the C4ES decision to shut down the C4ES Election-Theory Forum). I hope that Internet Archive is able to back it all up so that we can still have reliable citations on this wiki and on)

My edits from today (which is still June 28 in [[PDT]]).
 
* [[Talk:The Center for Election Science#C4ES discourse.org server]] ‎ I moved the [[C4ES Election-Theory Forum]] over to [[Project:C4ES discourse.org server]]. More discussion over on that page:
** [[Project_talk:C4ES discourse.org server#July 2020]]
* [[The Center for Election Science#Wikipedia]] - now links to [[wikipedia:electionscience.org]] (note: I did this after [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electionscience.org&oldid=965054223 putting the redirect on [[Wikipedia]])
* [[Discourse.org]] - ‎"Discourse" is software created by the hosting company "Discourse.org". See wikipedia:Discourse.org. It's not clear if it's a for-profit or non-profit company based on their website.
* [[Project:C4ES discourse.org server]] - Used VisualEditor to remove duplicate reference to Felix's announcement
* [[C4ES discourse.org server]] ‎-> [[Project:C4ES discourse.org server]]
* Moved [[C4ES Election-Theory Forum]] to [[Project:C4ES discourse.org server]]. This is about to become of much less import to the [[electowiki]] community.

1/ I'm going to letting [[VisualEditor]] completely maul the section headings. (meh!) Though I'm not sure what it tried to do to my 2020-06-12 entry....

** Ted Stern sent out an interesting email about ^those methods

**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 also want to add some local namespaces over here. I'll describe more about what I want at [[User:RobLa/LocalNamespaces]].

5/ I keep adding more redlinks, and not removing things. For example, we have [[Electowiki:MediaWiki]] and [[Help:VisualEditor]], but we don't yet have [[Help:MediaWiki]]. I'll make that tomorrow, though. In the meantime, it's time to create a TODO item for myself over on [[User:RobLa/TODO]] ("''fill in redlinks on User:RobLa/Journal''")

*Build a boilerplate for welcoming new Electowiki editors (see [[User:RobLa/welcome_boilerplate]] for where I plan to put it)
* Start a discussion about image policy that isn't on someone's talk page
*Finish up the talk page discussions I was very recently involved in

We do have a few unofficial places to chat about Electowiki. See [[:Category:Forum]] for the list of forums. I should probably add one more, which is the "#electowiki" channel on the [[C4ES Discord server]]. Y'all can ping me there; I'm "robla" there, too.

[[Wikipedia:May the 4th|May the 4th]] be with you! I have some thoughts about how we should talk about [[Burlington 2009]]. I plan to capture them at [[User:RobLa/Burlington2009]].

2018 was the year that [[User:Psephomancy]] did 90% of the work migrating Electowiki over to Miraheze, and I puttered around for the next year or so doing the last 10%. When it was mostly moved over, I started using Miraheze as a place for drafting up my ideas for MAF and MATT.
