thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: BIOL 343

message: Hi @Izzy207, as I had mentioned on your talk page, some of the information you've added doesn't follow core wikipedia policies and guidelines. For example, in the source that was cited  it says: "It was first grown on a large scale by the Wabanaki native people who burn-pruned and harvested fields of wild blueberry." 
*You wrote: 
* Citing the same source you also added: 
What's written in the article is "During the Civil War (1861-1865) wild blueberries were sent by sea to the Union Army (Hanes and Waring 2018). In 1886, the berries were first canned and by the 1950s there were 21 canning factories." Both of these are examples of original research because the cited source doesn't include some of the information you've mentioned such as the Wabanaki developing the burn then harvest cycle and canning techniques attributed to Pasteur. Additionally, there's information  that's been added that's missing references, such as the entire subsection about Products and having references is important for verifiability. Moreover, the nutritional information is all sourced from the same website and doesn't follow  WP:MEDRS guidelines which means that statements such as , need references from reliable secondary sources. I also noticed that most of the information that was added was about wild blueberries grown in Maine and am wondering if information about wild blueberries grown in Canada should've also been included, since writing about just one aspect places undue weight towards one topic. I hope this helps clarify some of the concerns and I'd be glad to answer any questions. Thanks! Eucalyptusmint (talk) 01:56, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

I went through all the COs in the cat and checked their revenues and mainly stuck to the $100 benchmark (though Rentrak was only $95 mil) or for some of the private companies that are not required to have financials I guessed based on their operations (for instance Shari's has about 100 locations and I would easily estimate per store revenue of 2-3 million since they are open 24/7 and have lottery and alcohol sales).

Talk:Epigaea repens

message: I deleted the sentence claimnig that E. repens "can also be found in parts of Central Europe and Western Africa." This range info is contradicted by the Epigaea page, defies ecological plausibility, and was added by a user who has been blocked since 2007 as an "adolescent vandalism-only account." If anyone finds evidence that mayflower does actually grow in Africa and Central Asia, I apologize for my rashness. 
I also wonder about the claim that the petals taste like lychee berries. That tidbit of information was also added by a now-inactive user, and it's unsourced. But the flowers do certainly smell sweet, and I can imagine that they COULD taste like lychees, so I won't delete it right now.

message: Putting a big tag on this requesting that users link it to other articles will not wind up with useful links on en.Wikipedia. There are hundreds of thousands of minor taxa articles that do no wikilink to other articles. If the article is about a major species, a well-known species, a genus, or higher taxon, it might be appropriate to call attention to the article not being wikilinked. In the case of this article, it is linked to a list of species of Rhododendron, as are or will be another thousand species. But, the only other place to link most of these species would be by adding a 1000-species list to the genus article.

message: Most of the content under "Characteristics" subheading should be moved to a different subheading, such as the following excerpt: "species within Lysimachia are commonly called loosestrife, although this name is also used for plants within the genus Lythrum. The genus is named in honor of Lysimachus, a king of ancient Sicily, who is said to have calmed a mad ox by feeding it a member of the genus.[5]"
The second part of the quote above may belong under a subheading like "Cultural Significance or History". The first part needs a bit more elaboration on the differences between the two genera commonly known as loosestrife and could be moved to the introductory portion of the article. 
This content currently under "Characteristics" should be replaced with a description of the characterizing botanical features and key identification traits of this genus and perhaps a specific description for most common species or two. Msbaggott (talk) 04:59, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Primula elatior

message: Primula elatior is not wild in Norway at all! Northern borders are Denmark and south-tip of Sweden (Skaane).
However, P. elatior is one the oldest garden plants in Norway, and has escaped to wild many places, even far north in Norway. This is a good example of the difference between natural distribution and distribution as a result of cultivation.
In Russia there is a subspec. called P. pallasii, but obviously is P. elatior ssp. pallasii. It has larger flowers than P. elatior. There is also a blue primula (P. amoena) wich probably is P. elatior ssp. amoena.
