First past the post voting

As you are a relatively new user, I thought I should explain why I have reverted your edit. It was because the existing text matched the consensus reached at the talk page but your change does not. The key point about FPTP in this context is that it may meet the criterion but it doesn't have to meet it. The criterion is a 'must' not a 'may'. If you have a good argument why the consensus should be changed, please raise it there. In general you can WP:Be bold but on controversial subjects it is wise to check whether the matter has been discussed. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:44, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

I see you've been an editor since 2007, so I've cancelled my assumption. It's dangerous to assume! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:47, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
