Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Irish Farmers' Association. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.ifa.ie/ifa~42~42.htm 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:Irish Farmers' Association 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:Irish Farmers' Association 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:Irish Farmers' Association 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.

Re: Irish Farmers' Association
editHi there, and welcome to Wikipedia. The article in question was deleted because it was found to be a copy of an article found in the web. While we understand you may have the copyright owner's permission to use the text, such permission is void for us because we need the text to be free, as in, created by yourself. There are two ways of creating the article again: either you create a brand new article describing the association in your own words, or you follow the steps described above (the copyright holder must send a mail notifying the foundation that he grants Wikipedia and anyone reading it permission to reuse the text, even commercially, etc). What I suggest is that you take the time to write the article completely in your own words, so that it cannot be considered copyvio. Please keep in mind a couple of things when doing so:
- Explain in the article why the association should have a Wikipedia page. This is not done with personal comments (like "I think this article is important because..." or "This is a very important association and Wikipedia needs the article") but instead with facts ("The Irish Farmers Association is the largest association in Europe, with over 100,000 members, and recognized by the World Farmers Association" or "The Irish Farmers Association has an annual income of €100 million, half of which is spent in soil research" or something like that). If you don't explain in the article itself why someone may be interested in the article ("The Irish Farmers Association is located in Ireland." and nothing more), it will be deleted because Wikipedia, while an encyclopedia, cannot have an article for every single association in the world;
- Try to find reliable references for the article so that we can verify the content. If you write notability statements (notability are the reasons why the article should be, in example, that the association is the biggest in Europe) try to add an external link to a website where the casual user can confirm the claim. Note also that the website of the association is considered a primary source, so you should try to avoid it (while it may not be the case, it is frequent that the primary source post claims that are not entirely true, or is missing information). Reliable sources are sources that are considered trustworthy by the majority of the readers, in example, the BBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, NHK, etc, regardless of their controversy or casual conflict of interest). Without references, someone may request to put the article for deletion because of the unverifiable claims. Note that you can use written references (in example, published books or magazines that are reliable but not found in internet), you will just have to point the name of the book or magazine, year, author, publisher and page.
I hope I have clarified the matter. If you have further questions, feel free to ask in my talk page again. Cheers! -- ReyBrujo 05:06, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
