Item #1 edit

Support edit

  1.   Support, though I don't have much of a stake in this, so if this vote doesn't attract more interest from those who work on reconstructions, it should be stricken. Andrew Sheedy (talk)
    I also support what This, that and the other mentions below. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 17:54, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Support. PUC – 19:08, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Support. Jonashtand (talk) 12:43, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  4.   Support --Numberguy6 (talk) 04:29, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  5.   Support For the record, I endorse what was said in the recent BP discussion about "Alternative forms" being used for alternative forms which appear to have existed in parallel in the proto-language, while "Alternative reconstructions" is used for alternative reconstructions of the same form. In general, I would imagine that "Alternative forms" would become quite rare in the Reconstruction namespace. This, that and the other (talk) 09:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  6.   Support per This, that and the other, namely that "Alternative reconstructions" should be used in addition to "Alternative forms", not instead of it. —Mahāgaja · talk 13:10, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  7.   Support NativeNames (talk) 01:37, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  8.   Support Imetsia (talk) 17:19, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose edit

  1.   Oppose: The proposal for this made on Include "Reconstruction notes" and "Alternative reconstructions" in WT:EL? is too vague. The line between ===Alternative reconstructions==== and ==Alternative forms=== poorly delineated and fodder for edit wars. --{{victar|talk}} 19:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  2.   Support. PUC – 19:08, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  3.   Support: Easy support and only makes sense we have reconstruction notes next to Usage notes. --{{victar|talk}} 19:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
