It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed that following:
There's a "sources are too closely associated with the subject" orange banner at the top of the article. Has this been addressed?
The lead contains new publications written by Boot, but these are not mentioned in the "Career" section.
The "Career" and "Political beliefs" sections are too long and have too many small paragraphs. I suggest that these use level 3 headings and reformatted.
The lead does not summarise the political beliefs of the subject.

There's a "sources are too closely associated with the subject" orange banner at the top of the article since October 2023. Has this been addressed? The lead contains new publications written by Boot, but these are not mentioned in the "Career" section. The "Career" and "Political beliefs" sections are too long and have too many small paragraphs. I suggest that these use level 3 headings to break up the text and be reformatted into larger, fewer paragraphs. The lead does not summarise the political beliefs of the subject. There might be some post-2018 information that should be added to "Career" section. Z1720 (talk) 02:08, 11 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
FWIW. All 6 of the top contributors, responsible for more than 80% of the text, have not edited for several years. This does not necessarily mean no one else will come forward in the next 10 or so days to work on the article, of course, but perhaps the likelihood of that is small.
