The sampling of negative edges isn't what many people would call uniform, because both local and global sampling shuffle the nodes and iterate over the shuffled nodes (reshuffling at the end) rather than selecting truly random nodes. This is effectively sampling without replacement, with "refreshing", rather than more conventional uniform sampling with replacement.
The fix we talked about in #838 was to just make the documentation less misleading by removing "uniform" from it.
