Hi Stinerman, I have just noticed that you have founded an Elections Wiki city, congratulations. This gives us something in common as I have recently founded an Electoral Reform Wiki city.


 * I think it would be best if we tried to minimise duplication of articles on these two cities.


 * I was hoping we could agree a policy as to which articles would appear on which city.

Electoral Reform is a Wikicity that aims to provide information on all aspects of the electoral reform movement. The wiki will have detailed articles on all major voting systems and many others as well. The site would also contain articles about organisations involved with elections or electoral reform.

The wiki is expected to be of particular interest to members of electoral reform organisations and academics with an interest in electoral systems, though many other people may also be interested in the wiki.

John,

Since your wiki seems to be of a different scope than mine, there shouldn't be too much overlap. Electionville is only to disseminate who is running for what office and the positions the candidates hold. As far as voting systems or any other reform issues, I believe your wiki should have all that information.

Hello from SFBay
Nice to see someone giving this a stab. Did make me consider the likelihood of overlap as well. I think the difference is one of scope. I'm only worrying about elections within all of nine counties. Since this is probably a better platform for state and federal level activities, I don't think there will be much activity on those areas within the San Francisco wiki.--Kirk 23:58, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Kirk,

I'll certainly make sure I keep a link to your wiki regarding local races in San Fran and the surrounding counties. It would be wise for both of us to check each other's pages every so often to make sure no redundant information is entered.
