A GFDL license is a type of copyright. The copyright owner has to agree to license it under the GFDL. Computerjoe 's talk 18:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I had gone to the copyright page of this website and I'm still unsure of what i have to do. I also went to the GNFDL section, and it doesn't seem clear to me either. Are there any step by step guidelines I should be following?Food Safety Network 18:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Email the copyright holder of the original content you copied and ask him to relicense it under the GFDL or make it public domain.

How would I go about asking the copyright holder of certain material to license that material under GFDL. How would the holder license it under GFDL?Food Safety Network 19:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * They indicate that they permit re-use of the text under the GFDL by declaring it. We verify that the declaration came from the owner of the material because the notice is either posted on the original website or they send an e-mail to Wikimedia from an e-mail address associated with that website. You do not have to purchase a license or do anything to "get" one; if you own the copyright to something, all you have to do is state that you permit its use under the GFDL, but note that license allows anyone to use and alter and re-use the text you license under it. —Centrx→talk &bull; 19:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

What is the e-mail address for contacting Wikimedia to send this request? Food Safety Network 19:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

helpme - survey
Is it possible to link a survey to material I've posted on Wikipedia.Food Safety Network 18:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I am not sure what you mean. You want to link to a Wikipedia article from your own website? I can't seen anything wrong with that - as long as you don't try to control the Wikipedia content.--Commander Keane 19:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I would like to have my wikipedia article linked to an outside survey. Also is there any possible way of not having the content of my wikipedia article edited.Food Safety Network 19:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * External_links covers external links. We only link to external sites that are of benefit to the reader. And you are totally confused over how Wikipedia works. There is no such thing as "my wikipedia article" - you do not own it, you do not control it, you do not have editorial control over it. If you have a vested interest in a subject, you should not be editing that article - let someone else create it if they see fit.--Commander Keane 19:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * By what do you mean by this? All material on wikipedia is edittable. So, I suppose the answear to this is no, and on an off note, what is the aritcle you are speaking of? —— Eagle (ask me for help) 21:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Dr. Doug Powell into Food Safety Network
I am sending you this message because you edited Food Safety Network. I added a merge template to Dr. Doug Powell proposing that it be merged into Food Safety Network. There has been some debate about whether Dr. Powell is sufficiently notable to have a separate article. It appears that the FSN is much more likely to be considered notable than its director. Some of the info about Dr. Powell is already in the FSN article; perhaps a bit more could be added, then delete the article on Dr. Powell. If you wish to comment, please go to Talk:Food Safety Network. Please do not delete the merge templates until there is adequate time to discuss, generally about four weeks unless there appears to be significant agreement earlier. For details about the merging process, see Merging and moving pages. Thanks. Ward3001 23:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
