I did NOT mean to set up an organization of European chapters.

It's just that on a recent trip to European Commission I noticed that the coverage of EU on wikiprojects is surprisingly lousy, yet it influences millions of people and could be really important. A usual article on a multimillion dollar program of EU is only present on English and French Wikipedias, has no sources, doesn't mention implementation, media coverage or influence, and dates from 2007 or 2009. Fairly, it sucks. But it doesn't have to be like that.

EU institutions aren't any good in spreading neutral and objective information directly to the people whose lives they influence, so everything goes through the filters of local politicians and media which all too often have their own agenda. (That's why there's a monthly panic about "EU forbidding this or that".) To be honest, we're much better at communication than the EU professionals are. So, maybe we could cooperate.

I'm not a missionary for this, I won't try to convince anyone. I'm already exhausted by my current work. But I'd like to hear if anyone else thinks we could (or should) do something about it.
