Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (none / 0)

Apparently not, not even on the FR Wikipédia.

At least the Ciolos page shouldn't link to the Eurosceptic Bruges Group.

The agricultural Bruges Group About page is here.

Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (4.00 / 3)

I'll create the pages. That will allow me to create a disambiguation page for Bruges Group lowering the visibility of the Eurosceptic one. Har, har, har (and a bottle of rum)

Good work! I made a minor edit (the Charles-Leopold Mayer Foundation is Swiss).

What sources need referring to -- apart from pages in the groupedebruges site?

Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (none / 1)

If you look at the edit history and the discussion page I created a one-line stub and within 3 minutes the page received a "request for speedy deletion" and an "unreferenced" notice. Wikipedia has become a regimented pain in the arse.

I had to waste a few minutes explaining why the article needed to exist and the deletion notice was promptly removed by another Wikipedia editor.

I will not bother removing the "unsourced" notice.

Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (none / 0)

Yes, I did see that. It seemed to me you did cite refs, and wondered what others could be needed.

Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (none / 0)

It appears the Bruges Group is much better than the Groupe de Bruges at getting mentioned in the media...

It will be interesting to see what the Economist will say if they ever notice the connections. My guess is heads will explode.

Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (4.00 / 4)

I predict we will hear anti-Ciolos noise as soon as they find out. (At the very least, the French connection... But then the ideas of Pisani and the Groupe de Bruges, oh dear...)

Re: LQD: The new European Commission's team (none / 1)

It's already happened:

Dacian Cioloş - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur and British newspaper The Independent both criticised the nomination due to the funds mismanagement issue, with French daily Ouest-France alleging that the cause of British indignation was the perception that Cioloş would be akin to a second French EU Commissioner, given his close ties to that country.^[18]
