It appears that you are reading my comments out of context, and are also misunderstand the intent of a wiki -- it is a *collaborative* site. See these links: [deleted]
Perhaps it doesn't matter, but I operate several wikis, and I've contributed to Wikipedia (though I'm certainly not a wiki expert). I don't know why Mr. Araucana got the idea that I didn't understand this basic concept.
An unknown person changed the page and Mr. Araucana changed it back. Happens all the time. Since he reported this here, I looked at the page and made my comment here.
So ... have you read the entire web page? What in particular do you find confusing?
The whole page is not exactly a model of clarity, but I did think that I understood what Definite Majority Choice meant. But here is how the text in question reads now, having been changed back by Mr. Araucana:
>> The least-approved candidate in the definite majority set >> pairwise defeats ''all'' higher-approved candidates, including >> all other members of the definite majority set, and is the DMC >> winner.
So the least-approved candidate ... is the winner? Explain this thing to me....
On every electowiki page there is a tab near the top entitled "discussion".
Yes. Duh.
If you click there, you can add comments or questions. I encourage you to do so, after creating a login account, of course.
Well, since Mr. Araucana thinks I'm a newbie to wikis, it is certainly helpful for him to point out that I need to create an account on a wiki set up that way -- and ones that aren't seem to become spam pages within a few days -- but, of course, I'd have found this out for myself if I tried.
Finally, note that comments are most welcome when they are well considered and constructive.
Actually, even stupid and ignorant comments can be very useful.
I do have comments to make, lots of them. But not yet.
