One, two, three
So we have three options. Personally I'd be happiest with F only as this makes the ballot easier for voters. Failing that we should go with F and A. I don't believe the support for C was strong enough to warrant putting all three on the ballot. -- Evertype·✆ 08:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As Rannṗáirtí Anaiṫnid has said, the runaway winner is F, Ireland (state). We could just go with that. On the other hand, we did enter into this assuming that we would take two options, possibly three.
 * In the run-off for two candidates, we saw F, Ireland (state), get elected on the first count and it took till the fifth count before A, Ireland (country) was elected.
 * In the run-off for three candidates, we saw F, Ireland (state), get elected on the first count; A, Ireland (country) was elected on the second count, and it took till the sixth count to elect C, Ireland (Republic of).


 * My 2¢ is to go with just F since it get three times as many votes as A or C. I know some editors will be very eager for A to be included, and I would be interested in knowing if there would be a swing from "state" to "country" when we advertise the main ballot to *everyone* - but aside from that I don't see any merit in including A or C. So, "F" or "F and A", but would argue for just "F". --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 08:27, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Guys, I know this is linked to from the main Collabortion page, but I think we ought to keep this discussion there, not here. Discussion of the tally itself, fine (but what's to discuss), but how many options we go with is a topic for the main page, and should not be fragmented. Scolaire (talk) 08:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It'll get lost there, I bet. But fine, if you must have it that way. -- Evertype·✆ 08:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Please discuss these matters here. -- Evertype·✆ 08:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Order of results
In response to Evertype's edit summary, I was initially going to put the otions in ranked order. I only changed it to alphabetical because I was afraid there might be some pedants who would insist on having it the same as the output. I agree with the current headings.

 * I think your summary mentioned output, but i take your point about pedantry, and about going forward. -- Evertype·✆ 09:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
