Source concerns - copyright
This article is based, according to its early page history, on "a public-domain report from the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture" (see base of page). However, this appears actually to be from the Rambutan page of Purdue University's Fruits of Warm Climates by Julia F. Morton; this is a copyrighted work, not USDA nor public domain. Thus it should not have been used in the first place.
As the page has been edited nearly 50 times since then with additional details from numerous wiki editors, I am a little wary of deleting the entire page as copyvio, but am editing it heavily with details (primarily botanical info) from a selection of other sources to reduce the similarity to the Purdue text.
I would however value other ideas as to the best way to proceed - should it actually be deleted and started over? If not, could other editors please make further significant changes to the aspects about which I know less (particularly the cultivation and production side). Please note that, as a species from southeast Asia, Commonwealth English spellings should be used.
As a species from southeast Asia, Malay should be used. I'll stick to the US English though, since that's what over 2/3 of the world's English speakers use and anyway I couldn't do Commonwealth English if I tried. AlbertCahalan06:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Edibility
Are the fruits of this tree edible. The article talks about cultivation and harvesting, but I didn't see anything about eating them. --EncycloPetey13:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, they're edible. Remove the outer skin and then you can eat the inside, being careful of the stone in the middle. Tastes something like a grape, or a pear? Maybe? I don't know, they're nice anyway. :-) The article does talk about what they taste like, making jam out of them, etc., so I think it's implied that they're edible (maybe that text wasn't here when your comment was left). --tiny plastic Grey Knight⊖07:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
