Talk:International Student Identity Card
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Copyvio
Please see this link from ISSA. Barring a few recent cosmetic changes, the article uses the same words. While I think this should definitely have a page on Wikipedia, lifting promotional copy isn't the way to do it.--Marysunshine 03:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I've cut the copied sections and rewritten parts of the article. Will that do it? --Mr. Billion 18:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Sure, I have no objections to it now. Thanks for stepping up to the plate and fixing this article! --Marysunshine 19:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ISICS around the world
The Canadian Federation of Students/Travel Cuts offices issue the card in canada its a true fact and the policy you posted for me to read the wording is very vauge
Directories, directory entries, TV/Radio Guide or a resource for conducting business. For example, an article on a radio station generally shouldn't list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, schedules etc. (although mention of major events or promotions may be acceptable). Furthermore, the Talk pages associated with an article are for talking about the article, not for conducting the business of the topic of the article.
Although I think my Original edit that included mention of Travel CUTS was against this policy.

- True, but listing them all violates WP:NOT, as Wikipedia is not a directory. Ardenn 00:49, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Can YOU PLEASE elaborate on this directory stuff if you can't leave the page as isDr sean chronic RSX 22:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- Read it yourself. You've two eyes, and your own user page leads me to believe you can read. --Ardenn 23:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- K, I asked you in good faith to explain your edit no need to be rudeDr sean chronic RSX 23:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- It means, Sean, that Wikipedia isn't used to list every retailer of the card. That's not the job of an encyclopedia. Ardenn 23:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image
Although it does appear to be a legitimate ISIC card...I think featuring Zacarias Moussaoui's card distracts from the rest of the article's content. It would be much better to have a generic photo...once that wasn't so loaded and unrelated...if someone had a better image...it would be much appreciated Farsnickle 20:30, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
