message: The article needs better photos of typical plants at various stages of development. The two thumbs of File:Eastern_Skunk_Cabbage_along_brook_in_sprintime.jpg and File:Skunk_cabbage_and_marsh_marigolds.jpg are useful but those detailed photos are not usable without clicking/enlarging. The article itself needs a good gallery for browsing at a glance, showing typical views of a single plant at various stages of development.-71.174.176.65 (talk) 19:33, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

message: When I was looking at the article, I saw that it said "Eastern skunk cabbage is notable for its ability to generate temperatures of up to 15–35 °C (27–63 °F) above air temperature." I checked on Google and found out that 15 °C is actually equal to 59 °F and 35 °C is equal to 95 °F. I am unable to fix this myself, so if anyone could, I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance, TheWikiSearcher (talk) 23:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The original is correct. The key is the word "above". Yes, a temperature of 15 °C is about 60 °F, but a temperature change of 15 °C is a temperature change of 9/5*15 = 27 °F. (The reason is that the difference between the boiling and freezing points of water is divided into 100 Celsius degrees and 180 Fahrenheit degrees, so a change of 5 Celsius degrees = a change of 9 Fahrenheit degrees. But they don't start at the same point: the Fahrenheit scale has its zero 32 of its degrees below the Celsius scale. So converting temperatures and converting temperature changes needs different formulae.) Peter coxhead (talk) 08:42, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

message: What are the origins of the common name skunk cabbage? Not "skunk", but "cabbage"? (Wild guess: it flowers on or about St. Patrick's Day, which is associated with corned beef and cabbage.) Tom Scavo (talk) 16:33, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
