Talk:Economy of Gibraltar

However, you know that the process with regard to copyright is first getting the permission and then publishing. Nobody is requested to have telepathy in order to guess whether a copyrighted text has been properly authorized. A mere statement on "I have permission" is, as you know, useless for wikipedia purposes. We have a proper way to handle authorizations and it's through the OTRS system. Before, we had a copyright violation. The regular process to handle it was run and, as a result, we have a proper permission (which, BTW, is rather different to considering the text in the public domain since it does not allows its modification). Best regards --

Most readers don't know what bunkering is - I certainly don't. I've tried reding the corresponding wikipedia page which does not entirely explain it. I get the idea that it is to do with fuel oil for ships, but that doesn't really sit nicely with "delivering bunkers". In addition, the reference given

448:

Gibraltar is not a tax haven. The present system of tax exempt companies is being phased out and replaced with a new system which is being agreed with the EU. The purpose of Knowledge is to describe the present not to predict the future, so any inclusion or discussion of this is best left until it

En la actualidad, se encuentra en marcha un proceso que terminará con la total eliminacion de este sistema financiero en 2010. En efecto, el 18 de febrero de 2005, el gobierno británico aceptó la recomendación de la Comisaria de la Competencia de abolir para finales del 2010 el régimen fiscal exento

Easily resolved, as permission to reproduce was available in the public domain, perhaps a little good faith would have been in order before removing the text before the copyright issue had been resolved. The OTRS system in this case was overkill since it was already PD. Either you can now resolve

897:

Yes, you're completely right and obviously raising a copyright concern is perfectly valid. Maybe you could explain it to Gibnews ("I suspect the complaint has more to do with previous history with the editor involved as it could have been easily resolved as indeed it will be without all the fuss").

1167:

However, in its April 2009 progress report, the OCDE listed Gibraltar in the "black-list" of jurisdictions which, although committed, had not "substantially implemented" yet the internationally agreed tax standard. Following Gibraltar's signing of 12 additional Tax Information Exchange Agreements

1141:

Therefore I've included the curiously omitted fact related to Gibraltar's lack of implementation of the "internationally agreed tax standard" from 2002 to April 2009. Why it has been removed and in which ground is far from my understanding? I've reintroduced with a different phrasing to avoid the

1245:

The only curious thing here is your umpteenth reversion, this time on the ridiculous grounds of "copyvio". The "black-list" term was not in my initial phrasing, that which you removed without any valid reason. If you don't like my second edition, you could have simply went back to the first one.

855:. Just to point out that raising a copyright concern is perfectly valid and is not an accusation. I presume you're having difficulty with your English but there was not a copyright violation as he had permission to publish, the material was in fact already in the public domain. Un abrazo. 1048:

What does the source actually say? Pretty much what is in the article. Curious. Apparently when you like something, we have to say exactly the same thing as the source, almost to the point of copyright infringement. But not when you don't. Indeed....curious. So what does the article

530:

I reverted all the data on ethnic earnings, as someone has spent a lot of time adding it and it was referenced to the GoG website, if not explicitly, its probably better to improve that rather than just zapping someones efforts as it took him a lot of goes to get the formatting right.

758:

Excellent, perhaps you could add the Spanish language version to the es.wikipedia where some editors still mistakenly believe that Gibraltar damages the Campo area economy. I sometimes get complaints about my Spanish being incomprehensible as foreign languages are not my forté.

515:

In the context of Gibraltar its hard to say there is a category called 'White people' Although there are certainly identifiable Indians, and Moroccans. There are much whiter asians in the UK than the average Gibraltarian and locally racial origin is not exactly a big deal.

I have commissioned an article describing the economy and the tax regime by a leading accounting professional as the latter is particularly missunderstood. These will be added as soon as they are available. In the meantime the inclusion of propaganda is not

1028:

It's interesting to note that the information showing that Gibraltar was in the OECD list of jurisdictions not implementing the internationally agreed Tax Standard issued in April (which means that it didn't complied to it for seven years)

628:

The summary of the report in English and Spanish was published as a press release and is therefore in the public domain. I don't really see it being a problem, although the content may upset 'Spanish sensibilities' about Gibraltar.

551:

The inclusion of flawed statistics on CO2 emissions is mischievous - the statistics are reported as being flawed as they do not take into account that Gibraltar is a busy bunkering port and only reflect oil imports and not exports.

There should be a mention on this, given the constant growth of this sector. IMHO, the article looks more like a list than a comprehensive text. Maybe a "To Do" for the future, I would say. --

Precisely what deserves a POV tag? Perhaps you would like the article to include the unfounded allegations of money laundering made by the Spanish Government? 00:15, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that a statement about an ongoing process is a description of the present. Any compelling reason why it should be removed from the Spanish Knowledge?
