Talk:European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The states name is Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia ! See:http://www.eurocontrol.int/dgs/publications/skyway/1998/v3n12/p26.html Vergina 21:12, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I added the "Former Yugoslav" back in. [[Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia]] just redirects. --Jiang 21:14, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is not identical to Republic of Macedonia ---->Vergina 21:25, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

You need to answer with more backing. I don't see how. "Former Yugolslav" is already included in the article. It's just not part of the link. --Jiang 23:22, 13 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Lifted from somewhere

Is it just me or does the content of this page all sounds suspiciously as if it was lifted from a EUROCONTROL promotion document somewhere? (in which case it may give Wikipedia legal and POV problems) Andrewferrier 18:38, 2004 Nov 23 (UTC)

It has been taken from either http://www.eurocontrol.int/library/brochures/cfmu.pdf

in the pdf it states at the bottom: This document is published by EUROCONTROL in the interests of the exchange of information. It may be copied in whole or in part, providing that the copyright notice and disclaimer are included he information contained in this document may not be modified without prior written permission from EUROCONTROL. I've added a references section (I hope that's ok) but really the text needs rewriting because it's frankly crap. 80.229.143.117 22:52, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Considering that the contents cannot be changed without prior written consent, that would put it at odds with Wikipedia policy, and probably should not be included. --CVaneg 08:30, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Where exactly is this copied from? There's no violation that I can see in the above document (this was originally pointed out on WP:CV). -Lommer | ^talk 21:19, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

According to Fair use#Amount and substantiality, the amount of text is too small to count as infringement. Plus, it has by now been reformulated. Pgan002 21:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bombastic

As some of this text was initially promotional, it sounds a bit over-inflated: "widely recognized as the world's most productive and efficient air traffic control center", "far-above-average productivity", and the general tone of that paragraph. Are there any refernces to substantiate these claims? Pgan002 21:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC) I just edited it a bit. Pgan002

[edit] Acronyms

MAUC (originally it was AUC) is not really an acronym. I cannot find it in the supposed source, or on the internet. ACT is not an acronym either, though it is mentioned at these pages. What shall we do about them? Pgan002 22:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
