Translation

[edit]
  • Why can't I translate some terms like Translate or Submit a logo?
    • Because people who click these links have to understand English anyway.
  • I cannot translate some messages of the voting application.

Elimination round & Final vote

[edit]

Voting

[edit]
  • Cutelect?
    • Speak Cute elect. This is the voting-application's name.
  • Are your votes public?
  • Is the software used for voting documented?
  • What happens if I vote for more than 3 proposals?
    • We will consider every vote given after your 3 votes invalid. (They will not be respected while tallying.)
  • Can I remove my votes?
    • You are allowed to do so until the voting-period ends.
  • Can I vote without JavaScript enabled?
  • What can I do if the vote buttons are blurred/grey?
    • If you have trouble with Cutelect not recognizing you as eligible, please click the info-button at Wikivoyage/Logo/2013/R1/Gallery and then Votepage, read the instructions and add your vote manually. However, make sure that we can identify you as eligible when it comes to counting the votes.
  • Where is the preference ranking displayed in the vote-lists?
    • It's not. It will be determined by evaluating the history of each vote-list. It would be terribly difficult to ensure that each voter would not add vote 1 two times and it's unclear how we would have to proceed in this case without disqualifying this voter.
  • What maths is used to weight the prefs?
  • Who's doing the auditing?
    • It is planned that Rillke writes a script that does this, which will be open source and can be verified by everyone with JavaScript knowledge. Everyone is invited to randomly pick samples and verify that the script did it correct. Finally, a representative by the Wikimedia Foundation will do checks and approve the results.
  • What if I decide to change the order of my preferences?
    • First, remove all your votes and then vote again - in the order of your preferences as lined-out at Wikivoyage/Logo 2013.

General

[edit]
  • How can I see comments other users left or comment on a proposal?
  • I want to change something, correcting a spelling mistake, change a background color, etc.
    • If you know what you are doing, please feel invited and use a meaningful edit summary.
    • Everything related to the candidates is stored at Wikivoyage/Logo/2013/R1/x/File-Name (…/R2/… for the Final) where x is:
      • i – A short description.
      • c – The discussion page.
      • g – The gallery page.
      • v – The vote page. You cannot change anything directly on the vote page.
    • All templates are stored at Template:Wikivoyage/Logo/2013.
  • Why does the banner look so ugly?
    • Really? If you feel annoyed, use an ad-blocker or organize the next voting.
  • How can I experience the banner in a better typeface?
    • Lenka Stabilo is available at various sources; it will be used instead in the banner, if installed in your system.
