UNIDROIT
He Daporras, great that you aim to increase the size of the UNIDROIT article, that is badly needed! I have one concern however and that is the text you introduce: it is copyrighted by unidroit itself, and we are not allowed to use it on wikipedia (please read this for more info. I therefore had to remove it. I am sorry for this trouble for you, and really hope you'll be able to rewrite the content in your own words, because as I said: extension is badly needed... With kind regards! L.tak (talk) 09:17, 22 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Dear L.tak, Thank you for your message and for your concern. I work for Unidroit and have actually been authorised by Unidroit to make these postings. Does that make a difference?


 * Dear Daporras, yes that makes a difference! It will allow us to use the information you provide after the permission has been verified. Please see Donating_copyrighted_materials for instructions. After that is ok'd, the info can be used. In stating that you are an UNIDROIT employee, you have a conflict of interest. This doesn't preclude you from editing, but it does require you to be extra careful in showing a neutral point of view. For example: the info on the library was a bit "too enthusiastic" if the source is the organization itself. Better to stick to the facts (it has an extensive library etcetc), or add "it is considered the most comprehensive library of international private law"or the like, only if you have a reliable secondary source (you can read more here). Good luck! L.tak (talk) 10:42, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
