The three options on which we are voting have not changed at all Mies made an objection to my brief neutral statement before the three options are listed and I decided to incorporate his suggested text leaving mine as struck out I think both versions are about as neutral as each other but there are two reasons why I went with Mies wording The actual options for the lede sentence upon which we are voting have not changed and I don t want Mies to complain after the fact that the wording was skewed Very little happens in this particular little corner of Wikipedia without either Mies approval or anguished and dogged resistance I would like him to feel that the process is as open and transparent as possible Sentence options 1 and 2 are those which emerged from a far longer list as being the binary choices and option 3 is Mies own wording which I think is an excellent compromise I guess after this RfC is closed we can argue about the effect of changing the brief neutral wording mid stream and maybe those on the losing side can call for another one but there is another option available to all who have already voted simply re valuate your original vote and modify it if you think modification is needed
