Don't want to be pedantic, but shouldn't that be "The election rules
state that users must have *had* at least 400 edits by March 1 to be
eligible to vote.", since the chances of anyone who does not meet
these criteria meeting them in the future is nil?
I know this is translators-l, not englishgrammarscrutiny-l, but we
might as well get it right in as many languages as possible.
