In the following scenario, pick 'was' or 'were'

The following [was/were] noted:
[Bullet 1]
[Bullet 2]
[Bullet 3]

Responses:

Ironically, I concur with the "were" sentiment. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 1, 13:48
were. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 13:43 1
- but it would be better if you stated "the following WHAT" -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 13:43
Was. -- nm - Loyola Aug 1, 13:41
Implied noun "list (the following list)" = was. Implied noun "items (the following items)" = were. -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 13:37 2

- We need to know what the noun is -- nm - con_carne Aug 1, 13:38
were. The subject is "items" even if it was omitted. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 13:36
were -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 13:35
