Accession of Turkey to the European Union
This article was a mess when I found it. Over the course of two years, it had become an ugly bulletin board of reasons why Turkey should or should not be in the European Union, with the weakest of sources tacked on almost as an afterthought. I've tried to do whatever I can to fix this: shuffling, rewriting, sourcing, et cetera. Now that I've done as much POV search-and-destroy as possible without getting rid of actual useful information, I find that plenty of problems remain. I'm looking for any and all suggestions and advice as to how to fix this article. --Hemlock Martinis 06:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I don't have time to do a full review, but may come back and do one soon. From what I can see right now the citations need sorting out, a lot are missing, and you have a lot of areas bullet pointed for some reason, even if there is only one. I'd suggest ironing out the prose there. There ought to be a few more images around for some things, possibly also add the EU politics box? -don't know if that is too much but if you can fit it in cleanly then I think it is relevant considering how big the subject matter is. Hope that helps a bit, sorry I don't have time to read through properly right now. -  J Logan t/c: 13:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Which EU politics box are you referring to? And yeah, the bullet points and citations are really wonky at the moment. I'll get to work on that. Thank you! --Hemlock Martinis 18:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It needs all the standard stuff. More focused paragraphs, balance the coverage based on the subtopic's importance to the whole topic, paragraphs should be complete concepts, not 1-2 sentences, reduce the bulleted lists and replace them with prose, and of course clear the tags on the top, which generally will require more sources, and a search for what the best sources are for the topic. Left here per request. :) - Taxman Talk 04:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
