Talk:Participation criterion

message: What's the difference between the Participation and Monoticity criteria?  Can someone think of an example where all Condorcet methods fail Participation?  Why is it named Participation?
:It has been proven by Hervé Moulin ("Condorcet's Principle Implies the No Show Paradox", Journal of Economic Theory, vol. 45, no. 1 , pp. 53-64, 1988) that the participation criterion and the Condorcet criterion are incompatible. A summary of his proof is here. Markus Schulze 22:58, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems to me that there should be a weaker version of Participation that says that a newly-added ballot shouldn't cause the defeat of a candidate whom it votes over every one of the other candidates.
Making that candidate lose by showing up and voting is much worse than just causing some lower choice to lose to a still lower choice.
Instant-Runoff wouldn't fail that Weak-Participation. Majority-Judgment and Condorcet would still fail it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.8.176.249 (talk) 16:12, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Honshu

message: From the provisional 2005 Japanese census, adding up the 34 prefectures which are mainly on Honshu island give a 2005 population of about 103,300,000. Does anyone know which cities/towns/villages of these 34 prefectures are not on Honshu island so we can get a more accurate count? In nay case, I believe the above figure should not overestimate the actual figure by more than 2%. Polaron | Talk 15:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you trying to distinguish the population of Honshu the island from that of Honshu the collection of prefectures? If so, the difference should be quite small. In Tokyo, there are the Izu Islands and the Ogasawara Islands; in Niigata, there's Sado. The Oki Islands in Shimane. Awaji in Hyogo. Etajima. Itsukushima. See List of islands of Japan.

The Hoag plot summary sounds about right to me.

thread_title: Comment

message: The article mentions E29m for the purchase and a total cost of E52m. I'm interested in ascertaining the total cost in more detail. There is little available on the web - I have found a page by a building contractor mentioning a contract worth E16m . This appears to refer primarily to structural works. A restoration of such a house to its original glory would have involved substantial crafts input, which I presume was supplied by the OPW. The OPW site refers to a number of FOI requests for the total cost - if anyone has the answers to these, I'd be delighted to have a look. 
The article on the restoration of the Steward's Lodge refers to newspaper reports of a cost of E600k. The Dail record quotes Tom Parlon's reply to a question about these costs as:
"The Steward’s House is an integral part of the Farmleigh Estate and it was included as part of the purchase of Farmleigh by the State in 1999. Much of the renovation work was done directly by the building maintenance service of the Office of Public Works as part of its ongoing programme of works. External contracts directly associated with the renovation work total €568,076 inclusive of VAT. In addition, direct landscaping contracts came to €30,748 inclusive of VAT."
Note that he only quoted the cost of external contracts, although the OPW had done "much of the renovation work". This distinction was missed by the journalists and an incorrect figure entered the public domain.
I'll do some more research as I think the cost of this project is an important part of the Farmleigh story and should be recorded. Scartboy (talk) 20:07, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
