Nepenthes rajah/B. H. Danser's Monograph: Nepenthes rajah
Subpage containing someone's monograph on the plant Nepenthes rajah. Copyright status uncertain (to me, anyway) - it's an old text, so maybe public domain? If it isn't a copyvio, I still think there's a better way to present this information than as a Wikipedia subpage. No vote. GTBacchus(talk) 01:38, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Not encyclopedic. Actually it's just one section (#38) from a monograph of 51 sections, plus introduction and footnotes. The whole thing can be found here: . Apparently Danser, back in the 1920's, was the world authority in cataloguing and describing varieties of Nepenthes. This particular page is a straight copy from here: . Why paste it here instead of just providing a link to it? Author has put a note on the page that it does not belong on wikisource, but there's no explanation why not. This is extremely technical, and I can't imagine it being of interest, or even comprehensible, to anyone other than a botanist. Fan1967 03:18, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It seems all the information from the monograph has been incorporated into the main article in one form or another and a link to that webpage is in the "External links" section. In answer to your question, the reason it does not belong on Wikisource is due to its publication in 1928 and the fact that fair use texts are not accepted. NepGrower 07:33, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
