Hi, and thanks for your message. If you want to use your own text which is published on another site and copyrighted (which the inspire.jrc.europa.eu site is -- I checked) you should look at the instructions at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. I'm afraid Wikipedia is very serious about copyrighted material, and you will have to follow the procedures outlined there. (Please note that I am not an official Wikipedia representative, only a regular editor like yourself.) Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 10:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but I can't help noticing that you restored the copyrighted material to the page -- did you in fact follow the procedure for donating copyrighted text, and email the permissions people? If so, please don't forget to put the {{OTRS pending}} tag on the discussion page of the article; otherwise, please remove the copyrighted text from the article. Sorry to be a pain, but this really is taken seriously, and you risk having your account blocked by an administrator if you don't follow the procedures. --bonadea contributions talk 11:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
