[EM] halp!

[Richard, the VoteFair guy]

Wikipedia editors require notability. Can you point to a peer-reviewed 
academic article or two that establishes Bottom-Two-Runoff IRV as notable?

I'm not necessarily offering to do the edit because I already push the 
Wikipedia boundaries in other ways that I think are more important.

Yet I think references would help justify whoever does have time to do 
the edit.

Also what would help is to add to the Electowiki article a section that 
lists the important criteria.  And asking here about which criteria you 
aren't sure of would make it easier for whoever can add the table entry.

In haste,

Richard Fobes

But I am not qualified to get the facts and authoritatively evaluate each criterion and say "yea" or "nay" to it.
