Do you think it is well-written, and objective? Migeru or who else is a Wikipedian, does it meet the standards?
Also, there is one thing I am not pleased with, but not sure how to re-edit it. The page now displays Slovenian PM Janez Janša as "Incumbent". However, presently only the Council Presidency is a fixed position (held by states, not people), while the person of the Council President is always the responsible minister. (See Wiki article on the Presidency.) How best to re-write that? *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
There's this, for example:
Other commentators interpreted Sarkozy's publicly support for the "chanceless" Blair as a diversion tactic, whose failure will bar Blair from other top EU jobs, too.
added by Ronbomtom or something.
I've no idea what to do about the current president thing, because it includes a photo. Replace by the Slovenian flag? When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
I added the part you quote earlier, but maybe moved it upon re-editing today. *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
Most of it seems OK to me, but for that sentence I quoted. I suggest:
Other commentators interpreted Sarkozy's publicly support for the "chanceless" Blair as a diversion tactic: according to them, Blair stands no chance of being appointed and his failure would have the effect of disqualifying him for other top EU jobs, too.
Insiders say Blair has little chance because Britain is too disconnected from the EU mainstream, and he remains too divisive a figure because of his enthusiastic support for the U.S.-led war in Iraq which split Europe in 2003. "Tony Blair? Forget it," said one EU ambassador, speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with diplomatic etiquette.
"Tony Blair? Forget it," said one EU ambassador, speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with diplomatic etiquette.
"whose" is also the wrong relative for "tactic", you'd have to say "the failure of which".
I resuggest my complete edit, but whatever. When locusts move on, they leave nothing behind
After studying the treaties a bit, I concluded that I knew it wrong: "European Council" refers only to the meetings of heads of states/government, all the ministerial meetings are referred to as "Council". *Traitor*, n. A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
