Talk:Wild ginger

message: I'm going to rename this article Asarum, in keeping with standard Wiki policy of avoiding common names, unless anyone can produce a good reason not to. The name wild ginger refers to a lot of different plants worldwide, and is most correctly applied to the numerous species of Zingiber.Ethel Aardvark (talk) 02:37, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed rename

message: I've often seen a plant which strongly resembles wild ginger, but the leaves are longer and more pointed, grows profusely but not as closely as wild ginger, and--until this spring--I could not find the basal flowers. This spring I found one plant with three maroon capsules at it's base. Looking around, I could find no others with this. In the past, I thought this was just a look-alike, but now wondering if there is a related species or variety with this growth habit. I grow the canadense version in my garden, so can compare. 
Any thoughts?
:I have a similar plant ID question. Small maroon basal flowers, but a very round kidney-shaped leaf with a smooth edge (no scalloping, or angular teeth as with coltsfoot) and no heart-shaped point. Also, the leaves are hearty in texture, a bit thick and leathery. I suspect that this, and your similar heart-shaped leaf plant, are closely related. --Karinpower (talk) 05:09, 8 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: User:209.98.145.91 and Karinpower: Asarum/Hexastylis fit those descriptions, which are not actually members of the true ginger family, Zingiberaceae. Apparently the leaves can vary significantly in form though, so I don't know how useful those are in identifying the plants. Noting your geographic location may help narrow down the possibilities. There are pictures of several species of Asarum here and here.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 04:37, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for responding and providing those excellent photos. I did quite a bit more reading after posting that comment and am fairly certain that I have Asarum canadese. Here in the Pacific NW it's apparently indigenous so it's so surprise, and both leaf shape/texture (not shiny like Asarum europaeum) and small maroon jug-shaped flower are consistent. Regarding the other poster's plant, it seems that the various forms of Asarum have a lot of different lengths of heart shape, and the flower sounds like Asarum to me. Cheers and happy plant explorations!--Karinpower (talk) 05:03, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject European Union

message: Hi all, Is there somewhere a complete table of the progress dates of the countries who have become members of the EU? There is a partial table in Potential_enlargement_of_the_European_Union#Timeline, with the current candiates/applicants (Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, Kosovo, and Turkey) and only a few past enlargements for reference (Finland, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Croatia), and a similar table in 2004 enlargement of the European Union#Progress but only with the Czech Republic and Slovakia. I would be interested in having the same data for the other current and past members, as well as for the past applicants/candidates that have finally not become members (Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland). If there isn't directly such a complete table here, where can I find all these dates? The two tables I mentioned before unfortunately have most of their dates without any reference, but the people who created them necessarily found the dates somewhere.

thread_title:  Question. 

message: Although I'm not sympathetic to the view that Marx and Engels were economic determinists, this article is in serious need of revision. For instance, the criticism section points out the thinkers that originated this interpretation of their work, and that such a reading can arguably be linked to the worst practices of Stalinism, but it doesn't provide much reason as to why it economic determinism should therefore be considered an invalid interpretation of their work. For example it could possibly be argued that while Kautsky, Bukharin, Luxembourg, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, etc. had a more determinstic view of history and society than Marx and Engels, they did so because Marx and Engels had failed to apply their own theories as stringently as they should have Hanshans23 (talk) 17:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

What this actually means is that the site takes up to £20 from the victim, forwards the application to the NHS, then mails the victim to inform them that they have finished their business and shouldn't be contacted again. Despite saying that they will check the details, the forwarding is clearly automated. In effect the company has done nothing but left the victim worried about having given their national insurance number, d.o.b., address and credit card details to a dubious private company.
