Nominal

[edit]

I want to raise this here before changing anything as it might just get reverted otherwise. Is the repeated use of 'nominal' to describe the independents supporting the new government neutral? It seems to me it isn't but does anyone else have an opinion? --Boreas74 You'll catch more flies with honey 15:01, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure in what context the word is being used. As far as I understand it they're independent TDs who form some kind of loose affiliation, but I could be wrong. On a slightly different note I made a couple of minor changes to things that concerned me, one being a description of how the talks had "dragged on" for several weeks, which seems an unencyclopedic phrase.

I agree "dragged on" seems like editorialising to me. I removed the repeated description of the independents as only nominally so, we'll see if anyone disagrees. --Boreas74 You'll catch more flies with honey 16:12, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
