This version breaches copyright of: http://www.iita.org/cms/details/who_details.aspx?a=75&z=48 and http://www.iita.org/cms/details/research_summary.aspx?a=86&z=63. Rich257 12:59, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Untitled edit

And there's a copy of the same article at Iita, which I've nominated for speedy deletion. Cordless Larry 13:45, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article could be reverted back a few versions to resolve the copyvio. Rich257 18:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Single source / Press release /copypaste edit

This article, as well as the 16 articles on CGIAR and its sub entities in the article's infobox, appear to have been copied directly from their websites, and are written like adverts. I've totally rewritten one, but most need to be removed and rewritten for copyvio alone, not to mention the fact that they are all incredibly POV.

If you're looking for a research project, here's a good one. I'm also removing the "start" tag from these articles, as an unreferenced copyvio doesn't meet "start" criteria. T L Miles (talk) 17:40, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
