:: Yes, but several of the statements on the page are inaccurate when talking about any cardinal method other than Approval or Score. [[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy|BetterVotingAdvocacy]] ([[User talk:BetterVotingAdvocacy|talk]]) 06:45, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
[[User:RobLa]] and [[User:Dr. Edmonds]], I think this edit (https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Cardinal_voting_systems&curid=77&diff=8724&oldid=8653) is likely to be controversial, so I'd like to discuss it with both of you. This is the part that is at stake:
: Unlike ordinal voting, [[W:Arrow's Impossibility Theorem|Arrow's Impossibility Theorem]] does not apply to pure cardinal methods. Furthermore, all pure cardinal methods satisfy the participation criterion.
RobLa, I'd say that this is not controversial? If cardinal methods' failure of the universality criterion is an issue, we can simply say "Arrow's Impossibility Theorem doesn't apply to cardinal methods when ignoring the [[universality criterion]] (see that page for further discussion)." and leave it at that. In addition, it has been proven that cardinal methods pass the participation criterion, so I'm not sure why that has to be taken out. At most, the quote should be moved further down the article (say, to the "Notes" section); I suggest that as a general editing practice, rather than only here.
