Talk:Contactless payment/Archives/2014

Europe
There are several markets in Europe with varying degrees of contactless penetration:
 * Czech Republic
 * Finland
 * Germany
 * Ireland
 * Poland
 * Slovakia
 * Spain
 * Switzerland — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kennethmac2000 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
 * United Kingdom

We should mention all of them in this article, not just the main English-speaking one. The Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia in particular are ahead of the United Kingdom on contactless take-up.

Relation to EMV/Chip and PIN
If anyone knows, it would be good to know how this fits in with "standard" chip and pin payment practicals.

Additional Sources of Info, mainly on security of the standard:

SFK2 deletions
On February 10, I added text about new Mastercard/Vodafone/Telefonia initiative to create universal contactless payment system.

On February 11, User:SFK2 deleted one sentence of my edit and deleted the citation. User:SFK2 wrote "rm ref spam" in his edit summary, referencing his anti-spam project. However, there is still a dispute about his premise. That dispute is not yet resolved. You can see it at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Bankcreditnews_refspam.

In his deletion, SFK2 left some of my text remaining, and left it without a citation.

As a gesture of good faith, I will agree to keep the "According to Bank Credit News" sentence deleted. No problem there. And I will leave the text that the user left there. No problem there either. However, the user's behavior resulted in a paragraph of text that has not citation. I do not know why the user believes it is okay to have unreferenced text on Wikipedia. So I will re-insert the original citation.
