Flagged content is a direct quote from the document referenced and is not subject to copyright.

I think the problem is that the article largely consists of direct quotes from a copyright source, even though the quotes are attributed. I am uncertain as to whether this proportion of quotation is acceptable or not. There's no copyright statement on the orgional document but, as far as I can see, material produced by the European Commission does have copyright protection. I think this needs looking at by a copyright expert. Alternatively, the article could be rewritten from scratch and thereby avoid a potential copyright problem. --CharlieDelta (talk) 20:17, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the time being, I have redirected to Data center#Energy efficiency, which gives a little more information on the subject and references the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres; I agree that as it stood, there wasn't enough original work into which such a large quote could be incorporated, however attributed. — madman 01:14, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
