Hello, I am the author of the DFDL Wikipedia page and have just noticed the box saying that the page has issues. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll try and address each of the points raised in turn:

1) "It relies on references to primary sources or sources affiliated with the subject, rather than references from independent authors and third-party publications." DFDL is an emerging standard. There are two implementations underway, from IBM and US NCSA at Univ of Illinois. As yet there are no independent articles on DFDL, so it's not possible to cite third party references. However IBM will shortly have its implementation publicly available and I can add a link to that.

2) "Its introduction may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's lead section guidelines." I've read the guidleines and I'm afraid I don't see what the issue is, please could someone enlighten me, or rewrite the introduction?

3) "The notability of this article's subject is in question. If notability cannot be established, it may be listed for deletion or removed". I'm assuming that the issue here is around reliable third party sources? Does the arrival of IBM's implementation solve this?

Thanks for your help! Smhdog (talk) 10:30, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
