Source references

There's a citation needed on the name Simpson-Kramer. What kind of citation is most appropriate: to the Simpson and Kramer papers where they define the method, or to the first source that references these papers and uses the name "Simpson-Kramer"?

The sources I could find are: Kramer's 1973 paper^[1], Simpson's 1969 paper^[2], and the earliest paper I could find referring to these with the name "Simpson-Kramer".^[3]

The "least reversal" and "successive reversal" terminology seems to be rather more messy. Both seem to be based on Condorcet's vaguely worded original tiebreaker, but because it's been so vaguely defined, it has been interpreted in many ways: minmax, Kemeny, Ranked Pairs or something entirely different. The interpretation of minmax as successive reversal seems to have come from EM -- e.g. James Green-Armytage's post.^[4] I have the impression I saw it listed earlier on either condorcet.org or Ossipoff's site, but I'm not sure.
