Removed "Vote-splitting is a special case of strategic nomination" because I don't see how that's true. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 13:50, 8 August 2019 (UTC) |

[[User:Dr. Edmonds]], I'm not sure how I feel about your changes to the intro. I think of vote-splitting as "there are multiple similar candidates, so if voters can only express support for one at a time, their votes are split between those candidates" which is a little different from your "single voter supports multiple candidates but cannot split support between them" |

Also I'm not sure what you mean by "Vote splitting is often conflated with Proportional Representation". Those are totally different concepts? — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 15:36, 7 December 2019 (UTC) |

Merge
Vote-splitting and spoiler effect could probably be merged, but I consider them to be different scenarios, so ideally they'd be listed as separate things and explain what's similar and different about them. — Psephomancy (talk) 17:09, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- Please, keep them separated. Vote splitting is a separate concept, and the cause of spoiler effects. They should not be confused to one another. lucasvb (talk} 12:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- User:lucasvb Well we don't even have a spoiler effect article, so... — Psephomancy (talk) 15:25, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, though I don't want people wasting effort duplicating things that could be hosted on Wikipedia. — Psephomancy (talk) 04:10, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

User:Dr. Edmonds, I'm not sure how I feel about your changes to the intro. I think of vote-splitting as "there are multiple similar candidates, so if voters can only express support for one at a time, their votes are split between those candidates" which is a little different from your "single voter supports multiple candidates but cannot split support between them"
Also I'm not sure what you mean by "Vote splitting is often conflated with Proportional Representation". Those are totally different concepts? — Psephomancy (talk) 15:36, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
