What did I missed ?
-
In my article RLE: The Human Friendly Compression[^] This afternoon, I got a vote, since all votes are 5 stars, I deduce it was an upvote. But my reputation log says it was a downvote and removed 40 points :( Is it normal ? Is there a sequence like clicking 1 star, then clicking 5 stars leading to a downvote in reputation and an upvote in article ?

That's an interesting one! Hover over the dropdown on the rating control and you'll see there are 8 votes of 5. However, you have 10 votes overall. 2 votes are 2/5 and, because they fall too far outside of the voting trend, have been discounted. If a high level member votes 2, or you get another few 2's, all the 2's will kick in and you'll see a drop in the rating. The question is: why are those missing 2 votes not being shown greyed out? I'll add this to the list.
