Wikipedia:Peer review/Parti Québécois leadership election, 2005/archive1
I have made this article grow for weeks and months now under my care. The election is over, and the result is important and historic. A new leader of talent, André Boisclair, has been chosen for a left-wing, social democratic party in North America and an independence party in the world at a time when support of Quebec independence gathers a majority and projections see the party in question almost double the voting intentions of the closest contender, an unpopular party in power.
This leader is the first openly gay leader of a major political party in North America and one of the first in the world. I shall complete the debate sum-ups shortly. Other than that, how can this article be polished to a feature-worthy level? I am excited to ask the help of fellow wikipedians and await your constructive comments. --Liberlogos 05:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
- Here are some notes to consider. Introduction: What does "It was the second race of its kind" mean? that sentence could be made clearer. If you want to let us in on how other leader were chosen it should probably go into the background section. Please elaborate from "It was conducted in two rounds, under a preferential voting system" to tell us what a candidate needed to be elected, a simple 50% majority in either round? The section entitled "Unfolding" should be removed (it has no text). In "Campaign" what polls are mentioned? can a reference be provided? Where it says "Also criticized was..." who did that critizing? a newspaper? a person? The section "Vote" is small, either expand or merge it with another section. "Health", "Education", "Territory", "Sovereignty and leadership", and "Culture" are all too small to be sections. They should be expanded or merged together. That results table is probably the most important piece of info in the article. It should be placed at the top, not hidden at the bottom. And of course, the article needs a reference section per Wikipedia:Cite sources. Check Liberal Party of Canada leadership convention, 1968 for an excellent article on a similar subject. --maclean25 05:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
