Will be happy to review this JAGUAR  19:39, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Initial comments

• Per WP:LEADCITE, citations are usually discouraged from the lead unless it's citing controversial information. It wouldn't hurt to relocate a few of them to the body
• Various unsourced paragraphs in the Election process section
• "Candidates who do not belong to a registered party can use an "independent" label, or no label at all." - not sourced
• Most of the Great Britain-based is unsourced
• There's a citation needed tag in the Government finance section
• Is there any point in the Endorsements section?
• "(In the event, Michelle Gildernew lost her seat, reducing the number of Sinn Féin MPs to 4.)" - I don't see why this is a separate sentence in brackets
• "As it turned out, the results were even more favourable" - weasel words
• The entire Outcome section is unsourced. A tag has been there since September
• The Seats changing hands and MPs who lost their seats subsection has no paragraphs, sources and looks like cruft.

Close - not listed

I'm sorry, but due to the lack of sources and prose organisation throughout I'm left with no choice but to quick-fail this. I really hate doing this but it doesn't meet the GA criteria and there are a couple of tags that date from two months ago. If all of the above are addressed then it should have a better chance next time JAGUAR  19:50, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
