[edit]

Hi HiLo48 (sorry, I wasn't sure how to reply to your reversion of my changes).

A majority in politics just refers to the motion/individual with the highest support, which could be quite low (eg. 20% if all other individuals/motions had less than 20% of support). An absolute majority refers to 50% +1 eg. in the House of Representatives, 76 seats is the minimum number of seats required to form government, regardless of how many seats the other parties have.

Personally I think that's enough difference to make an edit, but I'm not really sure of Wikipedia's standards so it's probably best for someone else to make the call :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imjordanwhite (talkcontribs) 2013-09-04T21:02:50‎

Hi – looks like you want help from a specific editor about a specific article. The best place to discuss your reverted edits (and it's always better to talk about them than to "edit war") is on the talk page of the article you edited. Then if there's no response, it might just mean that the other editor is busy, so you can leave them a message on their User talk page to see the post you made on the article's talk page. Welcome to Wikipedia, and if your experience here is half as good as mine has been, you are going to love it here! One more little "heads up"... Here on Wikipedia, it's not really enough just to "know" something is true and then add it to an article. What is more important than "truth" is to be able to confirm it with reliable sources.
