Weird

Maybe you could replace the term "Weird ballots" with something more neutral, such as "difforming" or "unusual".--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:52, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Wikimedia elections require an independent poll

In my nature, I would suggests to tone it down. In any case, use better image to describe the situation, the image of the Fascist elections is very strong and quite inappropriate, it was a vote with yes/no list where the no ballot was different, it's quite different scenario. Also, in one caption you state that "The polling place collects the ballots, but does not examine or count them to report a result". It's quite the opposite in some countries, in Italy ballots are counted at the polling place.--Alexmar983 (talk) 15:58, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Lorenzo's software

Do you think the role of the software of Lorenzo Losa should be cited? We discussed it in 2 or 3 meetingw, things like the permission to use it and so on, is it an important part of the process to be aware for the next facilitators or just for analysis by readers?--Alexmar983 (talk) 16:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Weigh of the vote

You shouldn't write that "For new Wikimedia organizations, sometimes a coffee stain is their first publication", it's not even clear except it's polemical. And BTW, "weigh" is a problem but again if few people in a Board discuss a vote, with only one or two with an international vision, who are they representing? All of their members? I wish we could weigh the effective votes expressing in the end the affiliates' voice. For example the UG WikiDonne involved a dozen of user to cast a balanced vote, I was there in the loop of mails without commenting, while another chapter of which I am a member, Wikimedia Italia, never sent an email once on the mailing list (like in 2016), its members only got some ironic comments at the end that ASBS is not a real elections and some people are active in more UGs. No context. So how do you weigh such vote in the end? Is it really representing all their members if the people casting it never asked for a feedback, and the possibility to vote for ASBS was never even discussed when they were elected months or years before in the Board?--Alexmar983 (talk) 16:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
