Hatnote

IP editor 204.40.130.136 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) recently added a hatnote saying that this article covered only the current enlargement, and pointing readers to Future Enlargement of the European Union if they want to learn more about that. I reverted, saying that the current article as written covers all enlargements, past, present future and prospective. IP counter-reverted without comment and without arguing their point on the talk page, so I'm happy to open the discussion myself instead. What do other editors think about this hatnote, which in my view is both unnecessary and wrong? — JFG ^talk 13:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. That is a WP:SUBARTICLE of this one. All of that content is summarized here. TDL (talk) 00:21, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Russia on map of potential enlargements

@Глеб Соколов: Sorry, I had to revert your change again. If you want to add Russia to the map of potential future enlargements of the EU, you must back this up with a reliable source that says this is a serious possibility. In the meantime, the previous map must remain in place. — JFG ^talk 06:20, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Enlargement" to "Enlargement and Reduction"?

Ditto for the article on "Future Enlargement," which is equally presumptuous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.240.34.75 (talk) 00:21, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kosovo*

The EU does not refer to Kosovo as "Kosovo*". The asterisk is a reference to a footnote. This is idiotic. 72.12.108.35 (talk) 11:13, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
