• Any info on the discussion of the book in American Philosophical Association's 2002 annual meeting will do, but good. I mean, you can say what they said and reviewed and commented and the like. -The Herald ^{the joy of the LORD}_{my strength} 15:53, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review so far. I believe the above have been addressed. I think declaring Levinson an author would be redundant, since she wrote the book, and I'm not sure it's relevant that she's American unless it's suggested for some reason in some style guide section. "Citizenry" is used in a straightforward manner as "subjects of the state", but if it still appears as jargon, I can put that phrase in a parenthetical. I don't believe Meira Levinson passes the general notability guideline or WP:SCHOLAR quite yet, so I didn't redlink her. I don't have details from the APA 2002 meeting past the published proceedings, though I elaborated a bit more from that document. czar ⨹ 09:33, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
