Definition[edit]

Well, it's not really the representing or not representing of a "specific constituency" that makes an office "at-large." Rather, it is the fact that the position is chosen from among the whole membership, to represent the whole membership and not some subset of the whole membership. -- Gregbard 03:43, 22 November 2006

Editor At Large?[edit]

"editor at large" redirects here, but there's very little information on how this applies to the position at any given magazine. I guess it would be the editor all the other editors elect to - do what? Some more info on that would be helpful to the uninformed. I'm going to go do some net searching to find out, but why is there no information on how that works here?Rabidwolfe (talk) 22:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I searched for "editor at large" and ended up here. But this article is only about politics, not publishing. Either this article should be fixed, or a new article should be created for "Editor at large". --JHP (talk) 03:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's also 100% US-focused (not that that's anything new...) and so I leave the article none the wiser as to whether it applies anywhere else in the world. 86.132.137.5 (talk) 15:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have added in a new page about editor at large as totally different to the US political idea. JamesCollins (talk) 14:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Germany and other EU countries[edit]

For the EU Parliament, many countries, amongst which Germany the largest, use a single constituency covering the entire country, with proportional representation nationwide. Isn't it the case to include/mention them here? Pqnlrn (talk) 01:23, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
