[edit] Suggested Additions
I would like to see the text thats been removed from WB:WIW/Unstable added/incorporated to this policy. Which was:
Annotated texts are guides for helping readers study and understand published literature and other media that includes a copy of the original work within it. For example, Introduction to Shakespeare or Darwin's The Descent of Man. By developing these guides, we are trying to make it easier for students to study such material. Our sister project Wikisource, which collects public domain and freely licensed works that already exist, also allows annotated texts; it is a place of overlap between the two projects.
See Wikibooks:Annotated texts for our complete policy. Briefly there are two main limitations:
- Planned annotated texts with only slim prospects of ever actually becoming annotated may become candidates for deletion.
- Annotated editions of previously published works may only be written if use of the source text does not constitute a copyright infringement. Otherwise, these works are the property of someone else; we should respect their rights and avoid legal trouble. Copyright violations are suitable grounds for speedy deletion.

- Just to know more about it, who removed the text and did he or anyone provide any info on why the removal was performed ?
- On point 1) I disagree, a bare book structures (or plan) is not a valid candidate for deletion, can you extend on that point ? --Panic 00:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Was it this [edit by Whiteknight]? (he gave the motives to the changes [here] and Wikibooks:Annotated_texts#Source_texts_without_annotations cover more or less the subject. --Panic 00:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
