This is a ref for special trains being used; I use a more specific newspaper ref, but this might reassure people that I'm not writing complete tosh. Bencherlite ^Talk 01:15, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Two scholarly articles on a learned subject. Who would have thought this election would have inspired such a large turnout of voters. Articles are long enough and new enough. The hook reference and certain other references require a subscription and are accepted in good faith. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:59, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
