I'm not saying that this is a bannable offense, but 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? )"
Just for the record, what was meant by the summary was that the person whose vote was removed had made only one other edit apart from that vote. I think that Pizza Puzzle had a point here - it would be easy for somebody to rig a vote by creating lots of new usernames and voting with each of them (I'm not saying that's what was going on here by the way, this is just a general observation). People who are interested in voting as a decision-making process probably need to discuss this and come up with some sort of policy.
One could say that whatever the case, PP removing the vote in question without discussion was wrong. Then again, one could argue he was just being bold in updating pages, and that it's not beyond anybody to reinstate the vote.
