what if a money laundering is protected by a law such as gaming laws ???

My understanding is that money laundering can be legal and illegal. The best examples are those of horse betting, lotteries and casinos which are governed by legal agencies and underground gambling which are considered to be illegal. Therefore, money laundering laws or standards should be established internationally

Not true: Use of a betting establishment to launder funds or finance terrorists is illegal in the US and most other nations. There are international standards, though laws and enforcement are the responsibilities of each nation. --JIMGGGG (talk) 09:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Violation

The contrib made by Amitseeram on 10:24, 7 November 2007 is:

a) A long block of text that is unformatted and difficult (imo) to read, and more importantly

b) Copied verbatim from the Reserve Bank of India's page RBI AML & KYC Guidelines. The RBI's page is marked © Reserve Bank of India. All Rights Reserved.. Since this extract is over 2,600 words, it can hardly be considered Fair Use and is thus copyright infringement.

Don't include copies of primary sources. I am removing the text. – RossJ81 | Talk 08:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article name hyphenation: is it wrong?

'Anti-money laundering' seems incorrect to me. Shouldn't it read Anti money-laundering, or perhaps Anti-money-laundering? From looking at hyphenation and the Wikipedia:Manual of Style I'm almost inclined to just make the move, but to which? Does anyone else have a comment, perhaps on what is most common elsewhere? The more I look at it, the less satisfactory the title seems. I'd suggest that 'anti-money-laundering measures' might be a better name still. AndyTheGrump (talk) 01:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

With no comments here, I brought this up on the reference desk Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Language#Anti-money_laundering, and the consensus was that we should follow established usage, which is what the existing title does, so no change is necessary. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion continued at WP:RM/TR and was moved below for future reference. Result: "Anti–money laundering" (with en-dash) is the correct spelling per MOS:PREFIXDASH. — Petr Matas 20:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anti–money laundering → Anti-money laundering (currently a redirect back to Anti–money laundering) – spelling; please merge histories (timespans of significant histories: source: 2023–2025, target: 2005–2013) — Petr Matas 08:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:DASH says to use the en dash instead of hyphens in article titles. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 09:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, regarding titles, the MOS says do not replace dashes with hyphens, but it does not say replace hyphens with dashes. Probably this MOS instruction is meant to counter a possible belief that simple characters are preferred in titles. In this case, the right character is the hyphen – see Talk:Anti-money laundering#Article name hyphenation: is it wrong? — Petr Matas 13:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That 15yo comment is unrelated to using the en dash. See MOS:PREFIXDASH; "money laundering" is a compound. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 20:15, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see! Now the hyphenation finally makes sense to me. "Anti-money" is a nonsense, but "anti–" is a prefix to "money laundering", right? Should we use the dash throughout the article as well? Shall we move this discussion to the article's talk page? — Petr Matas 22:17, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

History merged, in any event. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 06:15, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. I have also merged the old talk page into the new one. Please move the old revisions up to year 2013 and delete the rest. — Petr Matas 14:36, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page merged as well. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:04, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hyphenation 2

Which hyphenation is correct?

anti–money laundering efforts
anti–money-laundering efforts

Similarly for anti–money laundering laws, software, etc. I tend to option 2, because I feel that the part "money laundering" should be tied together, but separated from "efforts". However, option 1 seems more common by a large margin. See also MOS:PREFIXDASH. — Petr Matas 06:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC) (Edited)[reply]
