Dog4591, I think I finally see what you're getting at here: a good portion of successful (or at least partially so) nations use a direct voting system. Cum hoc ergo propter hoc. A grate country may have a direct voting system, but that doesn't imply that the direct voting system causes the country's grateness.

"And besides how many other wikis use this system."

What a coincidence! It turns out that the very purpose of Ajr's proposed system is elimination of this majority-is-always-right thinking. There is a fine line between wisdom of the crowds and mob mentality.
