Works of Author:Pieter Willem Botha

Hi. The works of Pieter Willem Botha are generally considered to be under copyright is our understanding of how copyright law applies to the majority of his works. If you believe that the work is in the public domain, please identify why that is, and the copyright tag that we should apply based on the source of the work. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:37, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Rather than just add a work a second time, it would have been better to have the conversation with me. Anyway, I have resurrected your initial contribution, and opened a conversation about this at Wikisource:Copyright discussions#"Rubicon" Address by South African State President PW Botha, August 15, 1985. Please feel free to contribute to that discussion about the work. If you have examples of such works, or discussions about such works being in the public domain, they would be useful to notate at that discussion. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:07, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
