Initial comments

I will make some initial comments as I read through, and then summarise. SilkTork *YES! 16:15, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Prose is clear and readable and conveys often complex and difficult ideas in a lucid manner. There isn't too much reliance on WP:Jargon, though the terms periphery and core are used in the lead without explanation. A quick definition of those terms would be helpful - a link to their respective articles would be for those who wished to know more detail than a simple definition.

  • Images have appropriate copyright tags. Some of the later images could be captioned in a manner that makes their presence in the article clearer - see WP:Captions. The ballot box is simply captioned "Ballot box", which is not very helpful! SilkTork *YES! 16:22, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • References. The article has plentiful in-line cites to a range of text books, though the 1914-Today section is uncited. I haven't checked the sources yet, and will make spot checks later to ensure that what is said in the article is what is said in the sources. SilkTork *YES! 16:25, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
