Ok, apparently Gage and I won't agree so I think we should have a vote.-- Jerzeykydd ( talk) 22:32, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
There are 3 candidates. In the July poll, "other" gained 5%. Therefore, the only "other" not covered was Johnson. Jerzeykydd, your edits can be quite disruptive, I would be less willing to push the WP:3R rule if I were in your situation. I am going to include Johnson again, and I hope you won't violate the rule.-- TM 22:53, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
My $0.02: On the whole, when the election has yet to take place and there are only three candidates on the ballot, I think it's best to include all three in the infobox. (Can we find some way of establishing a consensus on this that'll apply across every article? Because it seems like just about all of them have been protected at one point or another. An RfC at WP:WPE&R might be a good idea.) – Hysteria18 ( Talk • Contributions) 23:35, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
I tend to stay out for the most part in discussions, but I have something to say. (This isn't directed to you Jerzey!) "Other" could possibly indicate that the respondent may be writing in someone, so we can not assume that Johnson is what everyone meant who said "other" in the RR poll. That said, I think protecting a page because editor(s) dont agree on a small detail is riduculous. As someone who works hard on updating poll, because of this petty disagreement, a new RR poll, [1] can't be up dated. America69 ( talk) 20:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
In my experience, if a candidate is considered important, s/he isn't named 'Other' in the polls. The actual name is used. Therefore, in this particular case, I can't really see that Johnson should be included in the infobox. ('Other' is also shorthand for 'none of the above' - yet another reason why one shouldn't assume other=johnson.) Flatterworld ( talk) 04:43, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
