Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

 * Hi Diana, I'd like to refer to the changes you made to my contribution to the page Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database. I work for FAO, the owner of FAOSTAT, and my Team launched the new FAOSTAT domain "World Census of Agriculture". I don't understand why you deleted the description of the domain. I just followed the same format of the description of other FAOSTAT domains in that page. I had also inserted links to relevant pages that I had created in Wikipedia: the censuses of agriculture and the World Programme for the Census of Agriculture, which you also removed. I think that both a short description of the domain and links to relevant Wikipedia pages are needed. Please advise how can we address this. Thank you. Jaycastano (talk) 10:18, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * We need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. Also, if you are being paid to edit this article, you need to post a notice to that effect on your user page. See the template below for details about that as well as information about conflict of interest. — Diannaa (talk) 23:05, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jaycastano. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:06, 2 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Diana, you continue to present general arguments that don't apply to the issue under discussion and don't address the fact that you removed the short description of the domain and links to relevant Wikipedia pages. I stressed it again, all the other domains have a description. Please advise if I need to bring this issue up. Jaycastano (talk) 10:40, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * What I did was remove some copyright content copied from this page, which is licensed under a CC-by-NC SA license, which is not a compatible license. It's perfectly okay for you to add a description of the data domain, but it's a violation of our copyright policy to copy it from somewhere else unless the copyright holder has released it under a compatible license. Another alternaive: you could write a description in your own words. — Diannaa (talk) 12:09, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I made another attempt. Jaycastano (talk) 12:28, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
