SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Help with EU financial regulation articles?

Hi there, AxG, I'm hoping to make improvements to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and European Market Infrastructure Regulation articles, but I'd like some help in discussing them. I found you on the list of active participants over at WP:EU and hoped you might be interested in providing some feedback on my proposed updates. They're available here for MiFID and here for EMIR. As a quick disclosure: I do have a conflict of interest as I'm working on this topic as a paid consultant to the Managed Funds Association but I won't make any edits to the live article. If you're able to help with either article, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 12:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
