Talk:Winter sowing

Latest comment: 16 years ago by Doug in topic Copyvio

The winter sowing entry violates many of the basic tenants of wikipedia. The formost problen is that the entire article is biased due being written as a first person narrative. It needs to be re-written in a neutral point of view. The article also lacks any verifable facts other than the original authors web page.

Examine the following paragraph:

"First, let me give you a little background as to why I sowed the seeds during the Winter. I live in a very small house, a cottage actually, and I simply do not have room for a light set up, also, any window space I have must be fought from the cat and "Prinny" likes to look out on the street and watch the world go by, so I have to give her a windowsill. She's a good cat and deserves her place in the sun."

It could be changed to the following:

Ms Davidoff once started seed indoors but her limited growing space conflicted with her cat's need for a sunny windowsill.Plantscience (talk) 03:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have restored an earlier version per WP:Copyright problems due to a blatant copyright violation and other issues discussed with the editor User:Wintersown at this diff. The material even stated "All rights reserved" in the article in violation of the GNU Free Documentation License. I will request a block and deletion of the page history in the event the material is restored.--Doug.(talk contribs) 05:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
