# The Wikipedia article on the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact refuses to explain how it would have applied to presidential elections where a candidate receives a plurality of the popular vote, but not a majority. See this edit being reverted. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact&diff=505578790&oldid=503340424]

# Wikipedia includes the margin of victory for a [[liberal]] politician, but omits or downplays the margin of defeat for the same politician.  For example, Alan Mollohan lost in his own primary by 56-44% after voting for [[Obamacare]], but Wikipedia's entry about him includes only his margins of victory in prior elections.  The margin of defeat for liberal [[Gordon Brown]] is obscured in his Wikipedia entry also.
