I recently realized that Tideman actually called his method "Ranked
Pairs". So, I'm going to start referring to it as Ranked Pairs rather
than Tideman's method. I don't consider calling it Tideman's method to
be wrong. It certainly is Tideman's method. However, I think that for
the purposes of advocating a method, it makes sense to have it at least
vaguely descriptive, if only as a mnemonic. It also makes sense to use
the same name as the inventor, and to use the same name as a prior
publication. So, I'm changing my web site to reflect this. I urge
other Tideman advocates (ie Mike) to change the name on their web sites
too.
