Article Issues[edit]

While at first this article does appear to be encyclopedic and notable, I have some concerns.

The current version was created by an abrupt overwrite of a previous stub[1]; this raises two issues in my mind: Was this created from a pre-existing copyrighted article or website (if so I have not been able to find it in a quick web search), and was material lost in the overwrite? There are strict guidelines for the use of copyrighted material on Wikipedia.
The current version reads like a promotional brochure or website (not quite a pure advertisement so i have not labeled it as such). It needs editing for a more encyclopedic tone and neutral content.
While there are some references given, there are no inline citations to give context to these.
The article violates the Wikipedia manual of style, in particular in its use of capital letters and boldface, especially in section headings.

These issues need to be addressed. MegaSloth (talk) 12:01, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added some balance to the introduction, (assuming it doesn't get removed!)by adding some criticisms, but the whole article needs rewriting from a neutral point of view. It is pure political propaganda. The forum doesn't seem to have achieved much at all, and seems to be a giant waste of money.--Gueux de mer (talk) 06:10, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
