Discussion

Where was this poll announced?

I removed the sentence that said not to vote if you didn't agree with the disputed naming convention - if there was no dispute this poll wouldn't be necessary. I also changed 50% mjority to rough consensus. I could potentially move my vote from oppose to support. I'm opposing because of common use and inertia. ROC is nominally the official name, I could support that if someone (not a partisan hack) is offended by the term Taiwan. SchmuckyTheCat 16:41, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

If you proposed to change how a poll will be passed please discuss before changing it. Thank you. — Instantnood 16:57, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
