Articles for deletion This article was nominated for deletion on October 3, 2006. The result of the discussion was keep.


Thanks for the vote of confidence. Generally, comments like this are more effective on AfD pages like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prostitution in the Czech Republic, rather than Talk pages. I believe the consensus will be to keep the article, but the discussion hasn't been closed yet by the admins. Hopefully, they get around to it soon... --Roninbk t c e # 13:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll take look on the article. I need some time to read through the materials. Pavel Vozenilek 13:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I've tagged this article as NPOV mainly for the "legalization debate" section, which clearly takes an anti-legalization POV. Also, the sections on child prostitution and human trafficking seem to include a fair amount of disputable or dubious information in support of the anti-legalization POV.

[edit] Copied text in article not properly sourced.

The article seems well-written and mostly well-sourced. However, a tag implies material in article is copied from a published source. Such material needs to be referenced properly: copied text needs quotation marks and in-line citations. It would be better practice, consistent with WP:REF and WP:CITE#HOW to indicate which material is copied from somewhere, and use quotes and footnote references to source it properly. Otherwise, the writing by wikipedia editors elsewhere is insulted, not separated from merely copied text that is not properly sourced. doncram (talk) 20:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

The entire section in question originally came from the public domain source stated at the top of the section. -- RoninBK T C 22:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
That's helpful to point out. Then it should be easy to put it in quotes as is necessary. Or, delete the copied text and put a summary, with link to the source. Either would address the problem of poor referencing. Again, the poor referencing is not an issue of copyright violation; it simply does not suffice to provide a link to the source, in terms of giving proper credit. A link to the source does not identify the actual words that are the wordings of the source. doncram (talk) 01:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
