 {{Big Quote|Halopedia votes are democratic.}}
-All Halopedia votes are democratic, unless explictly stated otherwise by policy. For example, [[RFA|Requests for Administratorship]] are not democratic: oftentimes, they require higher than a 80% support rate and strong administrator support, among other criteria. However, the democracy of elections does ''not'' extend to the rest of Halopedia: Halopedia is plainly declared as ''not'' a democracy, despite of its many democratic features. For more information, please refer to [[H:NOT|What Halopedia Is Not]].

 While all Halopedians are invited to vote, sockpuppets are an exception.
-Sockpuppets are alternate accounts that a user uses to influence a vote. Sockpuppets are not allowed in votes, and their votes will automatically be redacted, and the sockmaster may suffer a suspension of voting privildges or a block. Users may be suspected as sockpuppets if they have been inactive for over two months and return to vote, if they vote but have minimal edits, or because of a stated association with another voter or a candidate being voted upon.
+Sockpuppets are alternate accounts that a user uses to influence a vote. Sockpuppets are not allowed in votes, and their votes will automatically be redacted, and the sockmaster may suffer a suspension of voting privileges or a block. Users may be suspected as sockpuppets if they have been inactive for over two months and return to vote, if they vote but have minimal edits, or because of a stated association with another voter or a candidate being voted upon.
 Therefore, in order for voters to ensure that they are not tagged as "sockpuppets" and their vote removed, users should try to achieve '''over 50 article edits''' before voting, and should have '''edited Halopedia for a few weeks''' or more before voting.
