Hey, most of the references in this article are links to project pages of Public Netbase (world-information.org, netbase.org etc.)
I don't think that counts as secondary sources. I mean, I guess it's ok to link to descriptions of the projects, but this article needs way more additional sources.

Way too short. Not comprehensive enough. Need more detail. Lead should summarize the article, not be a recitation of facts. Refs are off to a good start. Rlevse 00:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Rlevse appears to have left the project, so I'm going to be bold and pass this. I feel it meets the Good Article criteria. Although it's short, it's very well-cited and appears to cover a narrow topic in reasonable depth. I suspect it's simply too short to become an FA, but for further improvement, I would recommend a copyedit to polish the prose. If there are any other sources to be found, expansion would be welcome, but it's quite possible there's not much more to say that's encyclopedic. Thanks for your hard work, and congratulations.

This article shows how exciting and important Netbase was until the nasty government took away all its money. It reads like an apologia from Netbase itself. jnestorius( talk) 00:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
this part is still POV and should be rewritten. it quotes stuff published by members of public netbase (martin wassermair): >>However, the organization's successes were insufficient to stave off problems. Its lease at the Museumsquartier was not renewed after the controversial remodelling period in 2000, and it faced a series of audits and other bureaucratic obstacles. Financial difficulties and an inability to secure a permanent replacement location were never able to be resolved. Despite significant community support and a reorganization effort in 2005 that shortened its name to Netbase, the City of Vienna stopped all funding effective January 11, 2006, leading to the immediate shut down of the organization.<< Interstellarpoliceman ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:29, 10 April 2012 (UTC).
