Needs more balance
[edit]The article makes no direct mention of the vigorous criticism of the so called election by most of the world's developed and democratic states. They have overwhelmingly condemned the election as illegitimate. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:35, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Ad Orientem: I've tried to balance the article. How does it appear now? Ali Fazal (talk) 19:03, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- Greatly improved. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:40, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
Misuse of the word "landslide"
[edit]My change was reverted here "Landslide" doesn't refer to an election where the opposition boycotted the election. I'd fight this but I'm too busy. --BoogaLouie (talk) 21:13, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
- BoogaLouie, it has been referred to as such by Reuters, euronews and The Guardian. Ali Fazal (talk) 16:44, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I've never heard such an election referred to as a landslide but those sources do, so I stand corrected. --BoogaLouie (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
