The article gives a bibliography, but it doesn't specify the source for the individual component parts. I'd like to see some footnotes. Though perhaps this was the author's intention, students use Wikipedia as a substitute for proper research. While responsible ones take the time to note the citation and go to the original when writing a paper, it's not unheard of for them to just copy the citation to make it look like the went to the library to get a book or logged on to JSOR. Are there any concurring/dissenting opinions on the need for footnotes? (Or are you guys all Chicago-style inliners⸮) Petropetro ( talk) 12:10, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, H-B seems to describe the exact same method as D'Hondt (in that the same number of seats are assigned to each party in the end). If that's the case, H-B is just a computation/implementation detail that lets you determine an initial allocation for all parties. This would deserve some mention in the D'Hondt article, but not an article of its own. Closed Limelike Curves ( talk) 19:00, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
