Talk:1968 Lebanese general election in Beirut II

Vote Counts
I've done a copy edit and thorough source check as part of the DYK review. My own preference is to eliminate the parenthetical precise vote counts, because I think these distract from the prose. It's important to know that the winners got 7000 to 8000 votes; it's important to know approximately how many votes the runners-up garnered. But having (7501 votes) in parentheses after every candidate seemed distracting to me.

What would be perfect would be to reproduce the table in source 1... that would allow readers to see the "final standings," so to speak. Although this information was all in the article, I don't know that it would be legitimate to just copy the table wholesale. I'm going to ask some advice here. Until then, feel free to play around with the presentation if you don't like what I've done.Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 21:41, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
