So of course, I
vote "other"
Well being aware that in *this* voting system,
"other"
means "white" and that "white"
is never counted in
the
final results.
Undefined "other" can not be anything else than
"white".
"Other" could have been a proposition, as was
announced by tc *yesterday*.
Hmmm! "Blanc" in this context would be "blank"
instead of "white".
Sure, blank
You
are right that a blank ballot would not be counted,
and would suggest an
abstention, or often that you don't care which way a
vote goes.
Nevertheless, a lot of abstentions would be
noticeable.
It is very unusual blanks are taken into account.
Voting "other"
(sometimes the same as "none of the above"
but with
a place to write in
an alternate suggestion) means that you really don't
like any of the
other options. A strong "other" vote often means
that we want to keep
on talking about this. Mercifully, let's hope that
the "other"s don't
win this time.
I like your comment. It shows very clearly that the
vote "other" has several meanings and might not be
interpretated the right way. You will also notice
there is no place to say we would maybe agree with one
of the proposition, but absolutely not with another.
Which is different from "other".
I am *strongly against* automatic redirection as I
already stated with an example of why.
As for the portal, I think I already gave my feelings
enough for it to be understood I think it not
necessarily wrong, but of little interest right now,
and mostly very empty. In any case, that will not
solve some of the problems we may have on the fr.wiki.
I dearly hope it will have a good impact for the
others should it be the final choice. They seem to
think so.
Sorry.
Peace Anthere
