Talk:White-browed wagtail

message: Both 
:Bird Number 1891, vol. 9, 
as well as 
: p. 415
give the scientific name as Motacilla maderaspatensis.  However, the IUCN, and
possibly Grimmet/Inskipp:1988 gives it as Motacilla madaraspatensis.  Links
from both scientific names to this article already exist.  This may be an instance
of two different scientific names having been standardized to some degree - 
it is yet another
instance of the disparity between local and global forces in ornithology.   
In any event it is something that needs to be fixed (not so much in this
article as in the worldwide birding community) in the coming years. 
Perhaps this note should be moved to a footnote in the article... mukerjee (talk) 16:27, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Trou aux Cerfs is a volcanic crater found in the centre of the island of Mauritius. Now extinct, it is around 85 meters depth and more than 300m meters of diameter.

I would suggest adding a reference to "Bush Tucker" under the "See also" section of this page, (which is the way it's written on other bush tucker pages.) with a link to the "Bush Tucker" page. Also add this tree to the list on the "Bush Tucker" page.
Additionally, I'd suggest including a link to "Bushfoods" at the bottom of this page, with a link to the "Bushfoods" page. Also add this tree to the "Bushfoods" page.

Talk:Vachellia farnesiana var. farnesiana

message: I propose to merge this with the article on Acacia farnesiana.
In J.T. Kartesz (1999) "A synonymized checklist and atlas with biological attributes for the vascular flora of the United States, Canada, and Greenland", a number of taxa were synonymized with the nominate taxon Acacia farnesiana, including all varieties/subspecies, obviating the need for Acacia farnesiana var. farnesiana and rendering it a synonym. This has been followed by most authorities, i.e. ILDIS & TROPICOS (the Kew PlantList & the EUR+MED database follow ILDIS). USDA PLANTS & GRIN still recognise  Vachellia farnesiana var. pinetorum of Florida, but this taxon is of doubtful validity (considering the nominate form made it to the Philippines & Australia by floating across the Pacific, and it has been widely planted throughout the world since the 1500s), though I haven't examined it closely. Furthermore USDA PLANTS & GRIN are often out of date, whereas ILDIS is dated 2010.
Either way, this article is redundant and doesn't encompass the totality of this taxon, but only it's occurrence in Mexico & Texas. 
Also, contrary to the comment by an earlier contributor, I would say the acceptance of the taxon Vachellia is far from resolved. Personally I don't like what's been going on in Acacia taxonomy one bit, though I'm not opposed to retaining the title; I just think the Acacia name should be given prominence (as in the other article), considering many (if not most outside the USA & Australia) authorities continue to use this name, including ILDIS.

I am asking this rather than changing directly, because this kind of formulation is rather common in the English wikipedia. Is there a recommendation in this regard? It seems to me that the formulation is motivated by a didactic urge. the writer wants the reader to learn the scientific word. but in my perception this is not the task of Wikipedia.

I think this kind of formulation – a scientific term followed by a gloss – is common in Wikipedia for reasons of accuracy. The scientific term has a precise meaning, which can be obtained via the wikilink, but as it is likely not to be familiar to non-scientific readers, a gloss is added, but the gloss is less precise so doesn't replace the scientific term.

Talk:Ostrya

message: The article should perhaps mention that the "hop" in the common name "Hop-Hornbeam" comes from the strong, albeit only superficial, resemblance of the fruiting bodies of (most?) B. Ostrya species to the flowers of the unrelated hops plant.  
I would add it to the article myself if not for the fact that my only evidence at the moment is pure assumption based on the obvious.  However, Murphy's Law suggests that, were I to do so, someone who had done real research would then contradict it with credible citations and a statement of something like "Contrary to popular belief, the name does not derive from the hops plant at all--that they both have 'hop' in the name and also possess some visually similar characteristics is merely coincidental.  The tree actually takes its name from the medieval village of Hapflingzt, where, according to 15th-century Prussian legend, one of the trees taught the residents how to repair VCRs. Hapflingzt was abandoned in 1703, following its annexation by the modern prefecture of Mos Eisley. In the 1970s, three ancient ostrya tree stumps were uncovered at the site of the former village.  These stumps were later replaced with bronze copies and left in commemoration of the legendary events.  The memorial has become a frequent stop for Hop-Hornbeam enthusiasts and confused tourists."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starling2001 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Hey Katie, 
I have included my answers to the questions below. Overall nice job!
1.   First, what does the article do well? Is there anything from your review that impressed you? Any turn of phrase that described the subject in a clear way?
The second paragraph of the introduction gave a good background of the species and conveyed its importance.
2.   What changes would you suggest the author apply to the article? Why would those changes be an improvement?
There are a lot of instances where the family and genus of the species are not properly formatted. The first letter of the family should be capitalized, and both the family and the species should be italicized.
3.   What's the most important thing the author could do to improve the article?
At the beginning of the introduction the family and genus should be properly formatted and completely spelled out, as this is the first thing the reader encounters regarding your species. Also, at least name your specific species in the introduction, as you are introducing your species to the reader.
4.   Did you notice anything about the article you reviewed that could be applicable to your own article? Let them know!
In my article, I could talk about the preferred pH of the soil my species resides in, which you included in your article.
5.     Copy and paste the article including references into Word and determine the number of words in the article, do they meet the criteria (at least 1200 words).
Yes, there are 1,424 new words.
