The page has been added by the regular board member of Erasmus Student Network. Nobody from ESN will make any problem. I'm just mailing to our mailing list to explain what's happening

The Board of Erasmus Student Network agrees that the previous version is available on Wikipedia. Do I need to show something or this thread is enough?

Hello, I have been adding the link to our official song (voted by the general assembly in 2008) some times now. However, a bot continuously deletes the link; even though, we have full copyrights over that video. Thanks for your statement.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Erasmus Student Network. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20101012165133/http://www.esn.org/content/what-esn to http://www.esn.org/content/what-esn

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018.

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
• If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 06:58, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"ESN sections were founded in various European universities and with financial support from the EC a meeting for the official founding of ESN International was organised in Copenhagen, Denmark in October 1990 with 49 participants from almost all member states that were part of the Erasmus programme. ESN International became a legal association. Desiree Majoor from Utrecht, Netherlands[4] became the first president in ESN history."

"ESN sections were founded in various European universities. With financial support from the EC, Christian Schoenberg and Mads Stenbæk, both students at the University of Copenhagen, organized and hosted a meeting for the official founding of ESN International in Copenhagen, Denmark in October 1990. The organizers invited 49 representatives from almost all the Erasmus-program member states. ESN International became a legal association and Desiree Majoor from Utrecht, Netherlands[4] became its first president."

Rationale: I just realized that neither I nor my co-founder and co-organizer Mads Stenbæk (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madsstenbk) are recognized anywhere in the materials relating to the founding of the ESN. We spent almost an entire year organizing the event and the first AGM.

Along with my additions, I am currently working hard to add relevant sources to this page, which has been badly neglected on that front. When I am done, I will advocate for the removal of the "unsourced section" tag. I am open to discussions regarding these topics if needed.

Sorry if the phrasing of the edit message sounded belittling, it was not the intention behind it. Your contributions have been very much appreciated. I wrote this after spending the whole night peeling the fine print of dozens of messy documents apart trying to find the exact information about these rules and I was quite tired. The info about Mediterranean countries was provided higher in the paragraph, but next time I will add this as a comment.

As for the sources, I totally agree that there is a lot of unsourced material here, as ESN have never been super good at making public reports of this kind of stuff. I am progressively uncovering more and more sources for these different pieces of information and am trying to balance the sourced and unsourced stuff to hit the sweet spot for this page. I managed to improve the sourcing quite a bit, but there is still a ways to go.
