File talk:Crossf3.jpg

message: Message posted to User Talk:The JPS on 05/03/07 after a complaint that the image is that of a person and not of a geological feature. 
This image appears in both the Cross Fell and Scree articles. Imagine what that image would look like without the person in it. The boulders could be 3 metres across (their real size) or they could be 2 centimetres across. The surface could be a steep slope (which it is) or it could be completely flat. 
The human figure (it happens to be me) only occupies about 3% of the image, but it gives the whole thing scale and perspective. We are dealing with a particular form of scree ("talus") and a person in the image gives it meaning. It is apparent that we are looking at a steep upward slope comprised of large boulders.
There is no moral reason why people should be excluded from images. The image shown here is not a picture of me - it is a picture of a geological formation and I just happen to be in it as a reference point.
Are you happy with that?.

Talk:Asclepias purpurascens

message: The image linked to this page looks like Black Swallow-wort to me.  I think the correct identification would be: 
Asclepias purpurescens:
Asclepias purpurascens L. 
Cynanchum louiseae aka Vincetoxicum nigrum aka Cynanchum nigrum (Black Swallow-wort)
Cynanchum louiseae
Vincetoxicum nigrum
Cynanchum nigrum
I haven't read all the rules for submitting comments, but I thought it was important to have someone look at this since Asclepias purpurescens is a native plant and in some places it is rare, while Cynanchum louiseae is an invasive species.

I question the validity of the large milkweed bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus), small milkweed bug (Lygaeus kalmii) and milkweed leaf beetle (Labidomera clivicollis) feeding on this particular species of Asclepias. T. tetraophtalmus is rather specialized. Other members of the genus feed on different species of Asclepias and the same may apply to the other insects.

thread_title:  Other places and uses 

message: A section now reads: "The root of ipecacuanha has been used in preparation of the medicament, the syrup, is simple or divided into a few branches, flexuous, and composed of rings of various size". What this actually says, sort of, is that the syrup of ipecac is simple and divided into rings, etc. What I think it means to say is "the root of ipecacuanha has been used in the preparation of medicines, such as syrup of ipecac; the root is simple, dividing into a few branches, composed of flexible material and rings(?) of various size". That would at least be grammatically correct and feasible, although I still have no idea how a root can be composed of "rings".
What's even more mysterious is that I see in the quoted comment below that this same section was previously written in perfectly legible and understandable English, except for the fact that it gave the dimensions of the root only as "as thick as a goose quill" (about pencil width, maybe 5mm, if memory serves). Why someone "improved" this by substituting the whole thing for unreadable English I don't know, since all they had to do was give the size of a goose quill (or the root) in metric units.

Talk:Galium

message: The material is organized adequately and it is understandable but it is missing a lot of information. It only covers the plant genus briefly. 
It gives the reader a brief background on the genus such as the life cycle type of plants and where it typically grows. It does not give any habitat text such as if it grows in the shade or near creeks. It also does not mention how it reproduces such as cross-pollination or self-pollination, mitosis, etc. The footnotes appear to be correctly placed. 
The article has four references and most of them are reliable such as USDA plants being a government article.  The USDA article shows where it is negatively located so the author is correct on that aspect of the article. 
The Flora of China article they quoted a book and has the Thorough information about gallium. This source could even use to expand the article because it is so comprehensive on the genus. The authors Tao Chen and Fredrich Ehrendofer appear to be experts in plant biology, so it is likely credible. I was able to find Ehrendofer's background but not Chen's. His background is biology and botany. However, he retired in 1995, so the information cited from this article may be somewhat data but the author’s other two references are more recent such as 2010 and 2013.
The other articles are likely credible too since one is from a Herbarium of 
The content can definitely be improved just by pulling from the current sources. The material appears to be neutral and is fact heavy. One part of the Wikipedia article it says it may be confused with a tiny bed straw. I was not sure if the original author was trying to say Sherardia a. looks like Galium, because they also said some species of genus are known as bed straw. It is not clear what this means. Perhaps they are saying it looks like small species of Galium? The last two sentences are anecdotal.
