Reads like an advertisment
editWith sentences like "ECPAT widened its scope of work to encompass all issues of child sexual exploitation" and "1) working with the private sector to adopt and implement the Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism" it looks like it was stolen directly from a the press centre of the organisation. At least the ECPAT-USA section needs to be rewritten. Jeltz talk 20:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Are ECPAT the guys who are backing that nonsensical law against fictional Child-pornography in Sweden? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.133.159 (talk) 19:23, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, if fictional child pornography became legal then the rate of actual child pornography would drop and they'd have less to rage about and thus would have less importance. Every large organization will eventually become corrupt and try to sustain its importance (which of course translates into funding) by appealing to highly confused people, in this case at the expense of innocent children, artists, and art/pornography viewers/consumers.76.224.14.76 (talk) 03:53, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

From that lot what we'd have left is:

The second paragraph is no use out of context and anyway refers to one aspect of this orginisations work which leaves us with a very short article. Therefore I feel deletion as a copyvio and restarting as a stub seems most sensible as we have virtually no text we can re-use. Dpmuk (talk) 13:17, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Background
editSuch a big organization and no names are attached to it, as founders etc, or any mentions that most NGO's into sex-trade work here in Thailand has several scandals with staff-members doing exactly what they say they are fighting against - or that ECPAT's background is from the extreme christian movement, trying to outlaw also adult erotica etc? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.11.80.218 (talk) 15:03, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Name changed
editIt is no longer called "End Child Prostitution and Trafficking." The organization now simply uses the name "ECPAT International." i changed this - but someone changed it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slardybardfast2 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

ECPAT International → ECPAT – There is no such thing as "ECPAT International", but only simply mentioned as "ECPAT" per sources and WP:COMMONNAME. 179.49.5.119 (talk) 14:16, 14 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 04:09, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging Lithopsian, who requested the move to the current name in back in 2019. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:31, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Now you're testing my memory! My move request back in 2019 was to support the then-current name of (apparently) ECPAT International and to end an edit war involving cut'n'paste moves to that name. Nobody opposed that request. I agree that the name in use now *may* be simply ECPAT (see reference 1). I have reverted the recent edit by the OP to a name that I thought was made up, but does actually appear to have been the name the organisation used in 1990. The reference that came along with that change explains some of the naming history and appears to support ECPAT as the current name, but does use "ECPAT International" in one section at bottom right. Also note the copyright shown as "© 2024 ECPAT International". Lithopsian (talk) 16:38, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
