Talk:European Civil Service

message: Hi, with the Greek crisis, we hear that number of civil servants would be excessively high and public services offered of very low quality. But in the media I see very few data on all that's pretended. Can anybody help me find data on this? Thy --SvenAERTS (talk) 09:51, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You're probably best asking this at Wikipedia:Reference desk, SvenAERTS. This article is about the EU's civil service, not those of its individual member states. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:21, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wikipedia:Reference desk wow ... that must the best tip of the last 3 years!Thy very much Cordless Larry I asked the question here. I guess you can delete this whole section then? :) Thy again! --SvenAERTS (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, SvenAERTS. I'm glad you found the reference desk helpful. I've never used it myself. I think we should leave this discussion here, because you never know who else might see it and find out about the reference desk. Generally, I don't see the need to remove talk page discussions unless they are obvious trolling or vandalism. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:32, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

text: ah Cordless Larry, I thought it was a matter of trying to keep the place as clean as possible? It is logged in the history of the page if anybody would find it interesting to track the history / how an article came about? --SvenAERTS (talk) 00:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Talk pages are usually a bit messy, but that's no reason to delete material. See WP:ARCHIVENOTDELETE. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of civil servants per capita per EU Member State? 

message: The EU Council also has DGs. Are they also part of the European Civil Service? If so, this article needs to a list of them, and needs to differentiate between Commission and Council DGs. Int21h (talk) 23:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I would understand "European civil service" to mean the body of all (or at least specific types of) servants of the EU institutions -- including the , the European Parliament, etc. I would favour largely restricting this article to issues relating to that body of employees/servants. I would therefore suggest moving information about individual directorates-general, directorates, departments, etc. to the respective institutions. This may necessitate better distinction between the two meanings of "Commission", viz. the College of Commissioners and the institution itself, including its directorates. The same applies mutatis mutandis to the Council. That might mean splitting this article into European civil service (about all EU employees, with reference to the European Union Civil Service Tribunal etc.) and a  separate article on the Organization of the European Commission. In any case, I don't think European civil service is a proper name. --Boson (talk) 12:50, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
