Canadian federal election, 1993[edit]

Peer review archived

SimonP did the bulk of the work for this article; all I did was stumble on it and fix some of the formatting, including updating it to the new footnote system. Those who are extreme sticklers for article size should note that quite a bit of that 42kb is just table markup (I could probably get it down to 39kb if only there were a way to specify right-alignment for all the cells in a table).

  • Support. A few months age I was working to bring this up to FA standards, and Andrew has done some great work just recently. - SimonP 06:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Well-written and formatted. Excellent article. --NormanEinstein 16:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object The "Polls During the Campaign" table should be referenced. This is basically quoting somebody else's work. If you do not agree and want to save me the trip to my local library, please make your case. --maclean25 18:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with Maclean25. --Spangineer (háblame) 02:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'll be visting the library sometime soon, and I'll try to get the page references. - SimonP 13:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ok, I did not see that the book was listed in the References. I have added an online sources for some and made corrections to the numbers accordingly. --maclean25
  • Support The good stuff. –Joke 20:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, one definite improvement that can be made (which I brought up in the peer review but has not been acted upon) is to describe the election technicalities more fully. Many of the potential readers may not be familiar with the Canadian election process. Currently, this article has great dicussions of the topics it chooses to cover but is lacking in the more technical details (for example, "first-past-the-post" is not yet even mentioned). This probably would have been added if Elections Canada was used as a source, but I see it was not. As I am familiar with the subject I will add what I can, but I'm not as brilliant a writer as SimonP and AndrewLevine so please follow me up. --maclean25 18:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
