Hi Steffffm2, thanks for your message. I still think there is a bit more you could do to improve this article.
I'd put the references directly underneath the text and the section marked Links should become External sources. Could some of these Links/External sources be converted to inline citations as there are still quite large sections of the text that are unreferenced?
I'd also be on the look out for more independent references as you are currently relying too heavily on Heimtextil and Messe Frankfurt as your core reference sources – they aren't neutral so are quite likely to be challenged. Clearly this is a major and notable fair, so I imagine there will be some write-ups in the international textile trade press and other media sources. In particular, can you find references to support statements such as the largest, first of the season, etc, as these are the most contentious without external sources.
Finally, I'd whizz through and take out words that sound a bit PR-speak (conveniently located, complemented, and so on), as there are clear guidelines on neutrality on Wikipedia, see WP:NPOV. Sorry this sounds a long list, but you did ask!
Once you're ready, perhaps resubmit it for review and send me another note and I'll take a further look to see if I can assist with any further improvements to style and presentation. Hope that helps. Libby norman ( talk) 15:52, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
