Talk:European Health Insurance Card

Copyright violation
User:Saqib noted that content was copied from the EU page here. Should this anyway be redirected to European Union ? --Andrewssi2 (talk) 08:56, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Has there been any discussion of this on-Wiki? If so, would you provide a link please?
 * Perhaps a note could be left at User talk:Your Europe since he was the editor who brought the content here?
 * Their choice of user name may also not be a coi8ncidence... --W. Frankemailtalk 09:58, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Europa.eu's copyright notice also authorises reproduction, provided the source is acknowledged and I have now placed this acknowledgement at the head of the article:

 * Finally, since this card is valid not just in EU countries, but rather throughout the EEA together with Switzerland, I don't believe a re-direction would be appropriate. What would be appropriate would be a link from our EU article to this article, where we can go into more detail about the exceptions and"small print". --W.

 * It is not incumbent on anyone to notify the author, simply to discuss on this page. Also not sure why you think a link to any discussion is needed.
 * In any case, I don't know if the copyright notice you linked to is actually allowed here. It just says 'reproduction is authorised', but it doesn't use any kind of Creative Commons licensing that would make this simple.
 * I would actually ask for a link that shows why this copied text is allowed on WV. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 10:50, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Although you haven't explicitly answered my first question, I assume that you think the answer is that there hasn't been any discussion of this on-Wiki other than here on this page.
 * The advantage of leaving a note at User talk:Your Europe would that the editor who brought the content here might volunteer new information to put this in context - for example, it might be relevant if he claimed to be the original author of the europa.eu article.
 * I agree that this kind of permission does cause problems for diligent and punctilious users of our content and I have already embarked on textual changes that mean the copyright is no longer joint. --W. Frankemailtalk 11:06, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * (3 minutes later) Actually, cancel what I just wrote. I'm not going to bother editing any more - it's literally a waste of my time. --W. Frankemailtalk 11:18, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes please don't waste your time and don't introduce your own rules into Wikivoyage. We only allow copy-paste where the license is compatible and we do not credit authors and source in articles. Where does it mentions in the Europa.eu's copyright notice that their material can be freely reused and even for commercial purpose? Only material that is licensed under the GFDL and CC-By or CC-By-SA or in the public domain can be freely copied onto Wikivoyage. --Saqib (talk) 11:19, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Just to try and start again on this, are we saying that the EU website has a copyright policy that is incompatible with the license types allowed on WV? Do we have a list of licenses that are permissible? Andrewssi2 (talk) 13:13, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

This has now been tagged as a copyvio for over three months. Isn't it time to nuke this stuff? Texugo (talk) 20:34, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
