Talk:ISO 21500

Whitepaper presenting a detailed analysis of ISO 21500 and PMI's Body of Knowledge.
Developing a wiki article on the ISO 21500 standard is a daunting task. Even for a professional such as myself who has used materials like this in a programmatic context such as the United States Federal Government. Surveying a diverse set of materials is essential for developing a NPOV article that meets the reader's expectations for reading quality. One of the key sources for such information are training or educational materials on this topic... However, there are few university curriculum-based materials that are public domain but there are professional quality training materials available. Conducting a number of search engine queries, two of them are "http://www.vanharen.net"  and "http://www.sts.ch" I received permission to use materials from the STS training material in March 2014 and a copy of this was sent by email to the Wikipedia archive.

 * Postscript... The material is available off of the web page as well as the pdf... the information in the article that was used by STS permission was retrieved from the webpage ... source: http://www.sts.ch/documents/english/Doc_7037E_Comparing_PMBOK_and_ISO_v1-1.pdf

Criticism or Controversy?
Each ISO standard has criticisms and controversies I propose to add a section on criticisms which I think is more appropriate. No regulation or technical standard is perfect. There will be compromises. I think it helps the reader top understand the nuances of the material...Thanks Risk Engineer (talk) 19:36, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Copy paste tag removal
I have verified thru the use f Archive.org's Wayback machine that two different sites. See these notes:
 * Greetings fellow editor! I see you tagged ISO 21500 for duplication. I tried to click on the URL you gave, but it's dead. I tried the Wayback and found a copy of the link from 2018 at for June 2018. Wayback says the very first time this site had this info was in February 2018. The first draft of the Wikipedia article was mine in March 2014. See this link. It seems that the dynamic-strategies site in 2018 copied the 2014 Wikipedia material verbatim. They should have attributed the material to Wikipedia but they didn't. I would like to propose removing the copy-paste tag based upon this information.

 * Hi there ! Odd - that site must have died since I looked at it last month. I'd agree with you though they probably took content from Wikipedia. You might want to take look at WP:BACKWARDSCOPY in case you want to avoid other editors coming across it again if the site comes back online.
 * The other issue though is that the Overview section appears to be the same as that on http://www.gcerti.com/site/english/html/certi/21500.htm according to - would you be able to take a look at that too? Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I again confirmed on the Wayback machine that the second site also started in 2018. Both sites in 2018 copied the 2014 Wikipedia article material. I removed the tag as suggested. Cheers Risk Engineer (talk) 14:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
