Welcome
Welcome, User:Culi. I saw some messages from a new subscriber to EM-list named "Culi" on the election methods list ("Coombs method and typical RCV hybrid" on January 22, for example), and I'm guessing you might be the same person. I see from your first contribution that you made a helpful fix to a link, and you linked to a site that I don't think we'd linked to before, but Jobst Heitzig appears to be involved (and we may want to create a Vodle page on electowiki). The "Culi" coincidence seems like a big enough coincidence not to call out. Well, regardless of whether you're the same person as EM-list Culi, welcome to electowiki. I'll tell you what I tell many new editors that I notice: please read "User:RobLa/Welcome". I hope you continue to contribute to electowiki!-- RobLa (talk) 05:21, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hey Rob! Not sure if you get notifications for my talk page, but it is indeed the same culi. Is this a different Rob than the Rob Latchford on the mailing list? Thanks for the link, I'll make sure to check it out --Culi (talk) 06:17, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Cool. I'm Rob Lanphier (not Latchford). I started the EM-list back in 1996. I don't believe we have a "Rob Latchford", though we also have a person named "Rob LeGrand" that used to be a frequent poster (e.g. his February 2002 posts). He still maintains a voting calculator inspired by my voting calulator: https://www.cs.angelo.edu/~rlegrand/rbvote/calc.html -- RobLa (talk) 06:38, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, my mistake. Thanks for the welcome. And wow! Not sure if you saw my messages in the mailing list, but I'm working on something similar here! Although mine is mostly a toy. The central idea with it is that you can start with a scored ballot and from that generate all sorts of other ballots (e.g. ranked for IRV, approval for approval method, etc). So far I've implemented ~18 different methods including IRV, STAR, Approval, Copeland, Bucklin, and more. It seems like your calendar is down right now, but I managed to find an archive. Looks pretty useful. Perhaps some day I'll turn my site into an actual tool as well --Culi (talk) 07:38, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
