# Talk:Hypericum androsaemum

Hello! I took a look through the article and I had some questions:

What is gurjunene? No wikipedia article except for alpha-gurjunene synthase. 🌊PacificDepthstalk|contrib 05:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
Naming: Is it very important to note the history of the different names? I tried shortening this section because I was not sure it was very relevant (and I am considering shortening it further because the chart is fairly comprehensive here). I am a bit confused by the differences between synonym (botany), superfluous name, illegitimate name and so on. I made an attempt to separate the things, but please double-check my work to make sure I did not make a mistake. 🌊PacificDepthstalk|contrib 05:10, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
Good morning Pacific Depths,
To my non-chemist understanding, alpha-gurjunene synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction to create alpha-gurjunene, which is one type of gurjunene.
The taxonomic history of a species is important to me as a reader, at least, because it not only gives a list of what other names the species was known as, but also tells why it was confused for other names. For some species, perhaps there is a certain geographic range that varies in morphology slightly and some people thought that was its own species. For other species, maybe there was disagreement on whether characteristics of the specimen warranted inclusion into one genus or another.
I'm going to look through the edits but it seems like a lot of relevant information was removed. This article just passed GA like two months ago, and I am wont to believe that if there were issues with the content they would have been solved there. Fritzmann (message me) 13:20, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
Ah, I was confused as to why a copy edit of this was being done. I must have forgotten to remove the request from the GOCE page that I made earlier this year. The article has already been through a review since then and gone through GAN; doing a copyedit at this point would probably be redundant. I appreciate your input to make the article better, of course, but a fine comb is probably not needed; I don't have any intentions of taking this to FAC.

Understood. Feel free to revert edits! I see you removed the article from Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests. 🌊PacificDepthstalk|contrib 18:58, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Neither word is found in the article. Apparently the berries have medicinal uses, but what if you eat too many of them ... and do people really make tea from berries? Tea is usually made from leaves. Seeing the Picture of the Day today, I immediately wanted to know if people forage for these berries and looked at the article. I was not answered. Wastrel Way (talk) 12:37, 12 August 2025 (UTC)
