Talk:Directive 89/391/EEC

Attribution and move

I rewrote this article from scratch, without input from the useless stub that was Workplace Health and Safety Directive. Why would that require complicated moving and attribution? The only sources are on the page. Hekerui (talk) 11:50, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Attribution for an article should be kept on the same page. Doesn't matter if you change one letter or every word, doesn't matter if the previous efforts were useless stubs. Just move it properly instead of getting into an edit war. Lithopsian (talk) 14:07, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Why should attribution be given in Directive 89/391/EEC to this article? I did not edit this article, I edited Directive 89/391/EEC and used nothing of this article. Hekerui (talk) 14:11, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

If I insert my changes to article Directive 89/391/EEC as seen here into this article and then move this article to Directive 89/391/EEC, will I be reverted? There is no reasoning behind doing it like that because I use nothing of this article - even the name is a mystery because it's not official - but it's annoying to not be allowed to contribute content due to misunderstanding of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Please respond. Hekerui (talk) 15:42, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Forget licenses, edit away (but in your own words). Just make sure if you want to change the article title, then rename it properly. You probably won't be able to do this yourself now since the redirect where you want to rename has been edited and reverted. So you'll have to make a move request for an admin to do it. Technical requests will happen quickly, but will be reversed if someone disagrees with the name change. A better way is to start a discussion (instructions at the link) and then an admin will decide at the end of the discussion whether to change the name or not. You can continue to edit the article while the discussion is underway. Lithopsian (talk) 16:12, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hekerui Or you can move the page properly first (not copy paste) and then make the changes. What you should not do is create a topic on the same subject with just a title change like you did. It is disruptive and not helpful. Your title I think is marginally better than the original so I don't it is a problem but others may disagree.PRehse (talk) 15:58, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Workplace Health and Safety Directive → Directive 89/391/EEC – The article title is not found in the legislation (unlike, for example, Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and individual directives based on this legal act refer to it as Directive 89/391/EEC. Hekerui (talk) 16:50, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

• Support. Standard practice for EU (and indeed all) legislation: use the unambiguous and official title. Narky Blert (talk) 13:41, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
