Ireland (xxx) vote

This is a vote on what option or options could be added in the poll regarding the naming of the Ireland and Republic of Ireland and possibly the Ireland (disambiguation) pages. The order that the choices appear in the list has been generated randomly.

  • A: Ireland (country)

:* Common parlance; compare Georgia (country) and Georgia_(U.S._state). See also Country.

  • B: Ireland (sovereign country)

:* A way of disambiguating "country"; see Sovereignty (no redirect from Sovereign country) and Country. See also List of countries (redirects to List of sovereign states).

  • C: Ireland (Republic of)

:* From the 1948 Republic of Ireland Act: "It is hereby declared that the description of the State shall be the Republic of Ireland.". See also Republic.

  • D: Ireland (sovereign state)

:* A way of disambiguating "state"; see Sovereign state (which redirects to Sovereignty) and State. See also List of sovereign states.

  • E: Ireland (nation)

:* Common parlance; compare Nation and Nation (disambiguation). See also List of nations (redirects to List of sovereign states).

  • F: Ireland (state)

:* From the 1937 Constitution of Ireland: "The name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland". See also State.

  • G: Ireland (republic)

:* From the 1948 Republic of Ireland Act: "It is hereby declared that the description of the State shall be the Republic of Ireland.". See also Republic.

Procedure for voting

  • Please vote using PRSTV (i.e. rank your preferences in order e.g. "A, B, C, D, E, F, G")
  • To do this you may use the template * {{stv-ballot|A=0|B=0|C=0|D=0|E=0|F=0|G=0|~~~~}} — Select it from the asterisk to the two curly brackets and Copy, then Paste when you go down to the Balloting Area below. To make your vote, simply put the number (X=1 is your most favourite, Y=7 is your least favourite) with the appropriate letter.
  • You are not obliged to express a preference for any of the options that you do not wish to support (or have no preference about); it is easiest to leave the number as zero, i.e. Z=0, rather than deleting the letter.
  • Sign and date your vote but do not append any comments to your vote; they will be removed.

Notes:

:* Voting will end at 21:00 (UTC) of the evening of 1 July 2009 (that is 22:00 IST and BST).

:* A member of the ArbCom committee will adjudicate the result of the vote

:* Results of the vote will yield two (or possibly three if the numbers clearly warrant it), options which will appear in the main poll associated with this project. In practice two options will add three options to the current draft of the main poll. Three would add six options.

  • Procedures for dealing with fraud:

:* Unregistered users may not vote (to prevent fraud) but may contribute comments.

:* Votes by sock puppets or meat puppets (and their masters) or similar will be removed from the balloting area.

Its a good job we're all intelligent people, Single Transferable Vote really confuses me, and i studied Government and Politics!Willski72 (talk) 19:32, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

:What's wrong with my signature? Why do I have to sign "rannpháirtí anaithnid"? My vote is the one below Willski72's vote. Something is seriously wrong. FF3000 · talk 19:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

::Problem fixed FF3000 · talk 19:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

::{{ec}} Yea! That weirded me out for a second. There was a bug in the tempalate. I've fixed it now. Could you resign your ballot using four tildes? Thanks.

::Also, thanks Jza84 for the bug testing too! I guess we must tell people not to substitute the template!! --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 19:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

What's with all the invisible characters in this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Ireland_Collaboration%2FPoll_on_Ireland_%28xxx%29&diff=298420168&oldid=298419890 vote]? They don't show up on the page, but they're in there when you try to edit the ballot section. MickMacNee (talk) 19:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

:Just the complicated signature of that user. --FF3000 · talk 19:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

:I think the stv templates need to be substituted. --Jza84 |  Talk  19:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

::Other way around, *don't substitute* the template (it won't *really* but that the code from the template itself). --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 19:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
