it certainly is quesitonable. PP seems to have singlehandedly removed another user's vote from [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/vote]].

Note, the edit comment read: "(should a user with only one edit really get a vote? )"
Well. Other perfectly well integrated editors have done similar things. Ie, considering the point of view of editors who had made a very small number of contributions had less weight than them. Imho, that makes sense. Also, he did not try to "cheat" and make the change with noone being aware of it, since he put a comment.
I think were more and more things be decided by votes (how sad), there is perhaps need to check whether there is no double voting.
IMHO, software-bound voting could help in most cases. We shouldn't be facing the problem of people deleting other people's votes. There is probably a php/mysql script for it, and if not, we can just use an external voting system (many websites will let you set up a poll for free). -LDan
