    started an entry on the Borel construction, indicating its relation to the nerve of the action groupoid.

    That is very useful and very ’timely’ as I was looking for a good reference for the Borel construction and orbifolds. :-)

    I've done a very slight edit including the alternate name homotopy quotient but that leads to something in which homotopy quotient appears only very weakly.

    This entry was lacking a decent reference. I have taken the liberty now of pointing to

    Please feel invited to add you favorite classical textbook account on the Borel construction, instead (which is?)

    added mentioning of the simplicial version and some lines (here) relating to the model structure on simplicial group actions

    I have written out a proof (here) that the topological Borel construction of a well-pointed topological group action sits in the evident homotopy fiber sequence

    I have added statement and proof (here) that the topological Borel construction of a free action is weakly equivalent – under some sufficient conditions – to the plain quotient.

    have removed, in that Prop, the assumption that the fundamental group is abelian, and instead added the remark to the proof that the five-lemma still applies.

    Of course it does. I have tried to make up for being silly here, previously, by expanding a little at five lemma on the case of homological categories.
