Turns out that coming with a consistent definition of a dumpling is is really hard. My entire university class had a big argument about this and we never managed to settle it. The options above are some that were most heavily featured in the discussion.

On market close, I will create a poll for each of these dumplings. The options will be Yes, No, and Don't know. Each answer resolves YES if the sum of Yes answers exceeds the sum of No answers. The poll will come after a question that asks you for your definition of a dumpling, since I want your dumpling choices to make sense.

Some open dumpling questions:

  • Does a dumpling need to be fried, boiled, or cooked some other way?

  • Does a dumpling need to be closed?

  • Does a dumpling need to be savory?

  • Does the wrapper need to be made of dough?

  • Does it need to be wrapped in a certain way?

There will be another question about definitions if people are interested.

Hey @shankypanky you wanna resolve? It currently looks like:
-Bahn It Tran & Kartoffelkloese resolve to 50%
-Gyoza, Pierogi, Pelmeni, Manti, Khinkali, Vareniki w Cherry Filling, Siu Mai, Kreplach, and Ravioli resolve YES

-All others resolve NO

yep I'm on it - thanks for handling the poll, Ben!

ack - I got pulled away at the time and then this one fell off my radar. sorry for contributing to the delay everyone, this market is finally resolved 🥟

Hey @traders only 4 people have voted in the poll. https://strawpoll.com/61gD9BWoLZw

Gonna result in a ton of 50% resolutions if that stands.

Alright @traders
Vote in this POLL! Include your Manifold handle as your name in the name box. Check all options that are Dumplings, in your opinion. Vote closes in... idk a few days probably.

@shankypanky @jacksonpolack can I be made Manifold mod? Haha, jk... unless...?

thanks Ben for handling the poll for resolution! looking forward to resolving this one - maybe give it through the week? let's see how participation goes.

Is there a poll somewhere? @Shump

@Shump this one has been closed since the end of March - a few nudges in the comments asking for an update. Can you please respond on whether you'll be moving forward with the poll so this can resolve?

Shump can you please do something with this?

@Shump

@shankypanky Sorry. Will make a poll later today.

@Shump if you're not around/not going to do this it's probably best that we just cancel this market. can you please update? it closed at the end of March.

@mods keen for a second mod to agree here as I'd like to NA this today. shump is pretty much inactive, the market closed a few months back, and resolution would require numerous polls.

could just do a poll on a site that lets you have multiple questions in the same poll

okay - can you or someone else pick this up then? I'm not going to volunteer to manage the steps and resolution here.

We neeeeeeeed unlinked binary polls on this website! @mods @shankypanky @jacksonpolack. that would make everything so much easier


(also - @Shump can we move forward with getting this one resolved please?)

I really want to know which things are dumplings @Shump

@Shump any poll incoming?

@Shump How long will the polls be open?

bought Ṁ10 YES

everything is dumpling

y o u are d u m p l i n g

In German we use the word dumpling only for Chinese dough bags. I will vote based on that definition.

I feel the need for a multi-factorial spreadsheet 😃

@shankypanky I notice the 4 featured dumplings are all wrapped -

Wraps, like pancakes or bread, seem to be similarly blander, probably cheaper foodstuffs, whose purpose is to hold and serve delectables
