For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.duras-project.net/index.php?id=4&lang=eng in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Global Forum on Agricultural Research with a link to where we can find that note;
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Global Forum on Agricultural Research with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Global Forum on Agricultural Research saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Consider this your final warning: please do not (re)post copyrighted material or you will be blocked from editing. Unless you can prove otherwise, it is not legal for you to post copyrighted material on wikipedia. DMacks 14:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has now been removed you may have changed the first paragraph, but the rest was a copy from http://www.duras-project.net/index.php?id=4&lang=eng .

I would strongly advise you to write a brief article in your own words rather than obtaining copyright permission, for the contents of the original are too detailed, and inappropriate for an encyclopedia: WP is not a PR site, and articles that resemble PR will be removed.

My concern about your username

Hello, Gfar, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your username is grossly, blatantly, or obviously inappropriate; such names get reported straight to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention or blocked on sight. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus — either here or at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you. Orange Mike 18:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Orangemike,

I understand your concern. I picked up this name as I erroneously thought that it would be better to write different articles under different usernames that were somehow linked to the articles themselves. I see I was completely wrong, so i requested a change of username. The articles I had in mind were on agricultural information systems, and I noticed that many networks / associations were missing in Wikipedia. I was also considering starting some articles and then ask the organizations themsekves to add historical details or useful liks, but at this point I am not sure if this is correct. But who better than them could describe their information systems?

Thank you,

--Gfar 08:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally these articles should be sourced in neutral third-party publications. Are there reference works, either in hard copy or online, that describe these various organizations? Such works would be the ideal sources of information. --Orange Mike 20:11, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to USS Long Beach (CGN-9). Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -MBK₀₀₄ 15:27, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
