Talk:Voter model

The opening sentence in this article is an atrocity. It says the voter model is similar to the contact process. The latter proves to be a method for making sulphuric acid (click on the link and that's what you see). Is this article about Which is it??
 * methods of voting in political elections; or
 * methods of making sulphuric acid?

But then if you keep going, it seems to be about stochastic processes. There's nothing to tell the lay reader that this is about a topic in the mathematical theory of probability and is not about politics or sulphuric acid. If I hadn't known some mathematics, I wouldn't have been able to figure that out.

(Also, the convention about bolding the title phrase in the first sentence is neglected, and I don't want to fix that before doing other cleanups.)

I will change the inappropriately plural title, which violates WP:MOS, to the singular.

A reference to an article shouldnt contain more information than the article itself, and the 1975 article is an important one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.201.45 (talk) 07:58, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
