[edit]
  • From Reception; I plan to summarise this material but the section is called "Reception", not "list of citations from other authors":

Boothroyd's United Kingdom Election Results is cited as a reference in the book Human Development Report 2004: Cultural Liberty in Today's Diverse World by United Nations Development Programme, published by Oxford University Press.[1] The Politics and Public Administration Group of the Parliament of Australia referenced the site for information about the British National Party in a 2002 work "Interpreting Election Results in Western Democracies".[2] It is also used as a reference in Territorial Politics and Health Policy: UK Health Policy in Comparative Perspective (2004) by Scott L. Greer, published by Manchester University Press,[3] Regionalism After Regionalisation published by Amsterdam University Press,[4] Deliberative Polling (2004) by Eva Johanna Schweitzer,[5] and Popular Delusions: How Social Conformity Molds Society and Politics (2007) by Stephen Coleman.[6]

Authors Oonag Gay and Patricia Leopold reference the site in their book Conduct Unbecoming:The Regulation of Parliamentary Behavior (2004), for information on parliamentary expulsion, writing, "As the author, David Boothroyd, makes clear, expulsion was no bar to further parliamentary career in the eighteenth century."[7]

Valentino Larcinese used Boothroyd's site as a reference, in his study of the 1997 British general election published in the journal Public Choice.[8]

Alright, I'll wait til you're done to assess the situation but eight (8) total sources removed seems like a bit much. Hopefully there is a way we can incorporate these sources back into the article, without losing them completely. — Cirt (talk) 00:10, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I know eight seems a lot of sources to remove. I've summarised some in the article and tried to be representative without being inclusive. I can't see what a long list of works citing Boothroyd adds to such a short article. Feel free to add it back if you wish; I'm almost finished the c/e. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 00:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'll probably not add back the text itself. Rather, I'll summarize it a bit more, and add it back as footnotes, instead, so it's out of the main article text, therefore keeping in the general spirit of the thrust of your copyediting. :) — Cirt (talk) 00:39, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That seems to me like a good compromise; since it's listed as a good article it should conform to the GA criteria. I'm done now so feel free to continue. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 01:38, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, thanks again, — Cirt (talk) 03:36, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
