Forgot to say, if at all possible, to keep this for the UK General election on 7 May. Miyagawa (talk) 20:25, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

It is long enough, and seems informative and neutral enough. Inline citations. Handle seems also ok. Picture is public domain in the US. All the main sources at British Newspaper Archive are behind a subscription wall. I´m willing to AGF, but I find the format of the references puzzling. The sources have all "(subscription required (help))."--with such a text, you assume you would get some "help". However, those sentences are not linked to anywhere? So why have the word "help" there?

Its part of the cite template. There's no link - the text appears if you keep the mouse cursor over the "help". Miyagawa (talk) 23:36, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for that explanation. I´m AGF and say this is good to go, Huldra (talk) 23:50, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
