Talk:Short code

Much more is needed here: who regulates/issues short codes in Europe? Are European short codes EU-wide? Are North American short codes uniform across the U.S. and Canada? What is the relationship with traditional numbering plans? And so on... -- Anon 23:11, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Copyvio

Large parts of this article are directly copied and pasted from two web sites. The rest needs more investiation as it's very like the rest is a copyvio too chowells 00:48, 11 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Copied and subsequently edited by others makes it an unauthorized derivative work and therefore still a copyright violation. It shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows this subject to write an article from scratch – there wasn't that much here to begin with. — Kbh3^rd talk 03:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've written this article from scratch; it's available at Common Short Code/Temp -PdDemeter 02:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've removed the infringing version, replacing it with your new version. BTW, I (hopefully) made the intro paragraph a little more clear about exactly what this is – please check to make sure that I understood it correctly. — Kbh3^rd talk 03:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) I've made a few changes to what you added, so hopefully it's all nice and clear now! -PdDemeter 19:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Asking Neustar for permission

Is someone asking Neustar, the copyright owner, for permission.

It's not necessary to ask permission simply to report that such a thing exists and to broadly discuss the technological concepts behind it. The original infringing version of the article has been replaced now. However, if you know about the companies behind CSC, such as Neustar et al., please add that to the article. — Kbh3^rd talk 03:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
