What do we call the Egyptian Revolution? I asked that question a couple of times lately, then asked the DKOS community: come up with a good name or tell me what the protestors themselves use. The suggestions and notifications have come in. In general, we've had at least four broad categories of responses. For the poll, I've marked each possible respone with the following code to distinguish the apparently local names from the external media names, the facetious and so on.
- Serious discussions of the protestors' and local media's take on the issue. "The Revolution of Anger" and so on. These names are given the best place atop the list.
- What appear to be external media names. Note that I included the Al Jazeera name "Lotus Revolution", as it appears to be international media generated, not local protestor terminology. No intention to deprecate the name, which would be the one I'd vote for it I could vote.
