Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Policy reactions to the Eurozone crisis. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Article issues

There are twenty-four entries in the "External links". Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.

• ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
• LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
• WP:ELMIN: Minimize the number of links. -- Otr500 (talk) 01:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
• WP:ELCITE ...and access dates are not appropriate in the external links section. Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.

Trim "External links" and remove 2013 maintenance tag.

Other issues

The B-class criteria #1 states; The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. and #4, The article is reasonably well-written.

• The lead has eight paragraphs (WP:Lead indicates ...should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs... and the last one seems to have citation overkill. I cannot imagine why there would need to be six citations.
• The "EU emergency measures" section is unsourced.
• The "Brussels agreement and aftermath" subsection has an unsourced "quote.
• The content in the "EU emergency measures" just does not seem to be what is expected in an encyclopedia concerning the numbered entries with lines between each one. Maybe this would have been better presented in a "Notes" section.
• The second paragraph of the "Usage of EFSF funds" subsection is unsourced and has "...set to expire in 2013" so is outdated.
• In the "European Central Bank" section the third bulleted sentence is unsourced.
• The last very long sentence in the "Outright Monetary Transactions (OMTs)" subsection is unsourced.

I would imagine this is enough to fail the B-class criteria but I will wait on comments or corrections. -- Otr500 (talk) 21:48, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
