Edit Summary Request
I have noted that you edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s).

Voting systems "typo"
Hi Chopbox,

some days ago you changed a "typo" in the voting system article from "For example, in a 4-seat election a candidate needs 20% to guarantee election." to "For example, in a 5-seat election a candidate needs 20% to guarantee election.". In fact, that wasn't a typo (although for complete correctness it would have to be formulated "For example, in a 4-seat election a candidate needs '20% + one vote' to guarantee election."). If the 4 candidates with the most votes are elected and one candidate has already exceeded 20%, there is no possibility that 4 other candidates could overcome him (since there are less than 80% left). This "limit" is also known as Droop quota. So, I changed it back.
