As far as I can see, voting can't be used to weed out definitions - once 
someone has voted that {parji} means "parasite", the word is in the 
dictionary and the only way to get it out is to edit the TeX file. What 
voting does is pick which of several alternative definitions to put in the 
dictionary. E.g., both {samcrkasava} and {mandioka} refer to the same plant; 
one can vote whether "cassava" or "manioc" is to be translated by one or the 
other.
