Origin?[edit]

Anyone know where this was copy-pasted from? The style makes it look like a US forest service publication to me, but I didn't find this species at the Fire Effects Information System. Could be some other such organization - state park, forest, conservation organization, etc. But it doesn't look like a scholarly or popular book. Kingdon (talk) 19:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of information out there, for example at Final Rule to Determine Penstemon Haydenii (Blowout Penstemon) To Be an Endangered Species. But I don't know whether we should be improving the text we have or starting over. The oldest revision gives [1] as the origin for a photo (not sure about the text, though). I left a note at the talk page for Hippyhater (talk · contribs), the uploader. Kingdon (talk) 19:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cut and pasted part of the sentence about the photo into Google with double quotes and nothing came up except the article itself. The "photo above" sentence is highly suspect, since there is no photo above it. :-)

This web address from the Max Planck Institute seems to have this article verbatim (you'll have to scroll down past a whole bunch of web markup stuff before you arrive at the article proper). Unsure which was put on the web first, though. Hamamelis (talk) 07:05, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but take a look at the web markup stuff. It includes the same wikipedia templates that are on this page, a reference to User:WriterHound (perhaps the latest person to edit the page at the time they snapshotted it?), etc. I'm fairly confident that this website is translation of the wikipedia page, presumably automated.

Yes, I see what your talking about; sorry I missed it. Hamamelis (talk) 19:02, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it was just copy-pasted from a document on their computer? The original version looks more like someone's homework than something from an official source. —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 20:13, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
