Talk:Hierochloe odorata

message: Two pictures say sweet grass, only one resembles the genus Hierochloe and it's the USDA picture.  The other picture looks like Bromus inermis.

replies: text: No, it's not Hierochloe, and yes, it does look like a Bromus (Zerna).  I've removed that photo, and made a note on its talk page.  Richard New Forest (talk) 08:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Identification 

message: User 141.152.53.5: you've been trying to include material about another species, Muhlenbergia filipes in this article.  I think we need to consider how Wikipedia articles work.  WP articles are about one thing at a time: see WP is not a dictionary.  There are a number of plants with the name "sweet grass", but they have little else in common. A dictionary would have an article about the term "sweet grass" (whatever it referred to) but an encyclopaedia like WP must have articles about single "things"; in this case the species Hierochloe odorata is the thing (not my own idea, just how species articles work).  This plant is called by many names, and these do happen to include "sweet grass", but that does not mean that material about everything else called "sweet grass" can be added.  The way WP deals with different things that share a name is with disambiguation pages – in this case Sweet grass (disambiguation), where you will find Muhlenbergia filipes listed.
I have nothing whatever against the material you wanted to include, which does look interesting.  I think it should be included on WP – just not here.  There is not yet an article about Muhlenbergia filipes.  However, there is an article about the Muhlenbergia genus, and your material could go in a new section there.  Or you might like to start the Muhlenbergia filipes article yourself: see Wikipedia:Starting an article (I'd be very glad to help).  You are quite right that the material doesn't belong on the dab page, but equally we can't just stuff it in any-old-where just because it shares one common name.

text: I'm only vaguely aware of the ins and outs of set index versus disambiguation, but I think I probably like having all the meanings of "sweet grass" (plant and non-plant) on one page. "Buffalo grass" is even easier - all of them are plants. Kingdon (talk) 00:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other species 

message: There are two mentions of a tribe "Montana" in this article (I am assuming it refers to a tribe since it is in among other tribal names). There is no such Native American tribe named Montana, and since I'm not sure which tribe the author was trying to refer to, I can't make a change.Otumeal (talk) 07:24, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That whole section is subject to deletion unless someone can track down some sources. If the sources are found, they should provide the information about tribes. Kingdon (talk) 00:04, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  No such tribe as "Montana" 

message: When the article said:
: This variety of buffalo is different from the species of grass commonly known as 'buffalo' (Stenotaphrum secundatum) in Australia.
Can I assume they meant "this variety of grass"? ◃Λmniarix▹ (talk) 12:29, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I plan on adding a section on the Ecology of the species, specifically what habitat preferences it shows and known herbivores. I'm also planning to add some citations for areas of the article lacking in them, such as propagation, uses and European traditions. I will also edit the propagation section to better match my source's version. SootySalamander (talk) 17:49, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
