Based on the multiple move requests , , , ,,,,,,,, and and the excellent analysis on names used by RSes, this RFC is designed to provide editors with an opportunity to rank choice the verb used in the title. The idea is to gain consensus by using rank choice methodology so that we can account for editors that have a first choice that lacks consensus but have second and third choices that may have consensus. The verb in consideration:
- assault
- attack
- breach
- coup attempt
- incident
- insurrection
- invasion
- occupation
- protest
- raid
- rampage
- riot
- siege
- storming
- takeover
I would ask that editors format their votes by listing their choices from 1st choice to last choice at the start of their response, then provide the rationale for their ordering.
