Opportunity for Action: Suggest edits for prominent "Social Choice Theory" article

[Eric Sanders]

Background:

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is one of the preeminent philosophy resources on the web. They just published a new article on "Social Choice Theory." Giving it a quick scan, I see absolutely no reference to rating-based voting methods, Bayesian Regret, or the like: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/social-choice/

Proposed Action:

I would like to form a team of us to read the article and generate suggested edits, revisions, and inclusions for the author of the paper, Christian List, a Professor of Political Science and Philosophy at the London School of Economics: http://personal.lse.ac.uk/list

When we have finished aggregating our suggestions, I propose to send them directly to Christian List, listing all of us as authors (and under the auspices of The Center for Election Science), so that he can consider incorporating them into a future version of the article.

Opportunity:

This is an opportunity to make a major, lasting contribution to an important academic and philosophical resource used all across the world.

If you are interested in being involved with this effort, please post here or reach out to me directly at er...@electology.org.

It's ironic that the LSE's Voting Power and Procedures branch selected Approval Voting as the best of the 18 systems they looked at.

Earlier in the thread, he referred to the London School of Economics. Seems obvious.
