Talk:Sanguinaria

message: This project tag seems hugely inappropriate to this article, and ripe for removin'? Heathhunnicutt 07:05, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, this topic isn't at all specific to South Dakota.  Tag removed.  JYolkowski // talk 23:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As the person who put the banner on, I can say that it was only put there because the bloodroot is included in the category :Category:Flora of South Dakota, and I have no objections to its removal. However, I do think that having some project, preferably one with assessment, tag and hopefully monitor this page would probably be a good idea. Badbilltucker 00:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: That's disingenuous, Spiesr.  Having a South Dakota project direct South Dakotans to this article will lead to a POV that has nothing to do with the article.  Bloodroot is found all over North America, and it has nothing to do with South Dakota.  It's like the people of South Dakota are grasping around for topics to claim as relevant to their state.  Not that South Dakota is boring in the winter, or anything. Heathhunnicutt 20:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Project Banner

message: I feel it is not appropriate to use section headers such as "Medicinal Uses", considering that bloodroot and extracts are poisonous and disfiguring.  Please keep in mind that it would be a bad idea for someone to return to the traditional uses of Bloodwort. Heathhunnicutt 17:26, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: No headings that say "medicinal uses"

message: I removed the paragraph below... lesser celandine is not at all related (though greater celandine is). The referencing link leads to an error message.
:The genetics of flower development in bloodroot have been studied.  Specific differences were found compared with poppy species Papaver nudicaule (Iceland poppy) and P. californicum; and related species Ranunculus ficaria (lesser celandine) and R. bulbosus; and species Dicentra eximia.http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/nature/journal/v399/n6732/full/399144a0_fs.html&content_filetype=pdf

replies: text: Canadensis? The problem was more with Ranunculus ficaria. The referenced journal article led to an error message, so I couldn't check to see which "celandine" was being tied in. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 18:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v399/n6732/abs/399144a0.html This does not belong in this article.  But in the flower one instead. Hardyplants 08:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  It is silly to mention this paper, or its findings, in articles for specific species, because they are trying to figure out the evolution of flower genes across all angiosperms (or at least eudicots). Eventually this kind of research might belong in family/order/etc articles, but even that depends on how much it ends up being specific to certain taxa. Kingdon 15:04, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I changed the heading of "medicinal" to "complimentary and alternative medicine" since the content of the section did not support the use of this herbal extract in allopathic medicine and I felt it was misleading. Lesion (talk) 23:20, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

replies: text:  Semantics? =D ... Seriously though, I know that "my" own wikiproject tends to favor their own article naming conventions, which often lead to different titles than common name would. Think of these conventions as "scientific common name" policy...if that makes sense. Lesion (talk) 03:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

text:  Leaving aside for the moment the question of whether this particular move (Bloodroot->Sanguinaria canadensis) was appropriate, citing article title policy is not an argument against using scientific names for article titles. The title policy explicitly endorses the WP:FLORA guideline in the section "Explicit conventions" (WP:MOSAT). Footnote #3 in WP:COMMONNAME distinguishes between "common names" and "commonly used names": "Where the term "common name" appears in this policy it means a commonly or frequently used name, and not a common name as used in some disciplines in opposition to scientific name". In many cases, scientific names are MORE commonly used than scientific names. I am not trying to argue at present that Sanguinaria canadensis is more commonly used than Bloodroot, but I am arguing that WP:COMMONNAME does not mandate using a "common name" in favor of a scientific name for an article title.Plantdrew (talk) 05:05, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
