Removing close-to-verbatim sentences from a 1984 bookedit
Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
The first four paragraphs of the history section look close to verbatim from this 1984 book [1]. First P. "For many years the production of trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals was done with various modifications of field production agriculture." 2nd P: "After World War II, a new nursery industry began developing in southern California, using techniques common to greenhouse production of container plants." [2] 3rd P: "Despite numerous setbacks and frustration, the production of a wide assortment of plants in containers continued to increase." [3]. 4th P: "By the early [19]60s, production of nursery stock in containers had spread throughout the mild southern United States and to other parts of the world." [4]. I'm going to remove them...they could be rewritten but for now, they pretty clearly violate copyright. Novickas (talk) 16:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
