[edit] Johnkannaus

This was marked as a copyvio, but it turns out it's a copy-paste taken from [1] (freely distributable). However, it's a first-person account of a slave's life, and thus a primary source, violating WP:NOR. howcheng {chat} 01:00, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Let's hold on just a moment here. The article as written is (by virtue of the source) OR, but Professor Google says that Johnkannaus is "a West African fertility ritual associated with the yam harvest and revolving around a cast of colorfully-costumed dancers.". So maybe there is some potential for an encyclopaedic article here? That said, this is not that article. and any unrelated sources are proving elusive... - Just zis  Guy, you know?

  • Change to delete since after some digging I am unable to find any reliable source which does not ultimately track back to the same book cited in the article. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] RfA! 10:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
