This page should be made more into an encyclopedic article, no? --Vikingstad 02:53, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It certainly should. Particularly because nowhere here or on the article page does it say anything about their having given us permission ("The materials provided in this web site may be used for private purposes. For use, reproduction or transmission for purposes other than private use, please request permission from EUROPOL.") to cut and paste their entire faq. –Hajor 03:03, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I have now fixed the page, but I have still a lot of text from the original article. This shouldn't be a problem though, it is an official governmental website after all! --Vikingstad 03:45, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Hey, good work! –Hajor 03:49, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Getting the temp back?

Maybe we should move the temp back now? Haven't really worked on it, but it's a lot better than the old FAQ... --Vikingstad 00:54, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)

I'm not actually sure... I thought if it's been listed on the CopyVio page then we have to leave it here for at least a week -- at the end of which someone comes along, deletes the main page, and moves the /temp page over there, thus removing the CopyVio version from the history? With a bit of luck, someone more knowledgable will be reading this and help us out. –Hajor 01:05, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ok, I have now sent an email to EUROPOL requesting permission to use this information. Let's hope they respond, and as soon they do I'll move the temp section over to the real article page. --Vikingstad 01:13, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)

The copyvio has been deleted and your /temp new article has been moved here. - Texture 18:36, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

If this is not what was intended, please contact me. - Texture 18:36, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] re-writing

I'm writing my thesis on this topic so I'll post up an extended version shortly & update it fairly regularly.

[edit] History

Put in a history section. Is it relevant enough? Too long/short? Have I overlooked anything? Will put in other sections or edit/update existing ones shortly.

HEY! Why is "Police" linked in the expansion of "Europol" ? Not a single person on this earth knows with "European" means but doesn't know what "Police" means. Knock off the gratuitous links!
