July 2014

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. --18 July 2014 by Dodger67 (talk).

A need of more thorough coverage

  • I removed external links in article body and converted them to inline citations. This is consistent with readers' expectations — article body only contains wikilinks to other pages on the same site.

The draft isn't yet ready for the following reasons:

  1. Only European Commission and EUR-Lex sources are provided. Please find and analyse more sources:
    The article focuses on the article subject description from the inside, but an encyclopedia focuses — at least upfront — on a subject description from the outside (while going into more detail is acceptable further down after this goal has been pleased). Think more about press coverage, user reception, and adoption, perhaps some statistics.

Please fix them and resubmit.

If you have any questions, click 'edit' next to this section title and type your question, and it would be answered shortly.

Thank you. Gryllida (talk) 10:55, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
