The wikipedia page for cumulative voting describes is as a cardinal method in the introduction, before going on to describe 'dot voting' as a concrete example later on:
"Cumulative voting ... is a multiple-winner cardinal voting method"—
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_voting
However, the wikipedia page for cardinal voting specifically describes independent rating, as I would expect:
"Cardinal voting refers to any electoral system which allows the voter to give each candidate an independent rating or grade."—
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_votingIt seems to me that this is an error on the cumulative voting page. I would like to get feedback from people who know more about voting science than me (probably most of you!) before I suggest an edit.
Thanks in advance,
