message: Note to anonymous user 62.246.38.222: if there was a reason why you deleted the image from the taxobox on this page, please explain it here.  I have put it back since I can't think of any good reason for removing it, and I guess it was probably just an accident.  seglea 01:31, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

message: In the text "Geranium leaves are usually alternate, and palmately lobed or pinnate, often on long stacks, and sometimes with light or dark patterns.", what doese the long stacks mean? Thanks.--218.244.60.37 12:46, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The main article should note that the common geranium (in the US) has a pervasive ambience of distinctive odor.  And how could one describe this smell? 69.87.202.68 13:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fragrance, not odor. Flowers, perfume, soap = fragrance. Dirty laundry, spoiled food, wet dog = odor. 205.174.22.28 05:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  And the common geranium has a definite odor, from the leaves.  Pee-ew!  I've never smelled the ones in the article which have rose, citrus, nice mint or other nice fragrances.  The only description I can think of is "strong." 82.93.133.130 17:34, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The smell seems to me to be metallic - it also transfers to the hands if you touch the leaves. I added the line about the plant possibly detering mosquitoes - could it be the odour that does that and is there any evidence that mozzies are deterred? --Toh-maag 13:48, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Not all of the Pelargoniums smell nice. Only the scent of P. gravolens can be IMHO classified as a fragrance Sjschen 12:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The main article should have more details about the specific plants most commonly called "Geranium" (in the US).  Even though this article has a different title, this is actually the main article in wikipedia about the plants commonly called Geranium. 69.87.202.68 13:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Even though botanically there's a name mixup, shouldn't we first assume wikireaders typing in "geranium" are looking for info on the common ones, and have links in the paragraph explaining the naming issues to the other plants? 82.93.133.130 17:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a photo of this plant's seed. I won't claim it to be high quality but I'd bet that most people never saw one before, despite how common the plant is. Should I upload it? --DustWolf (talk) 13:53, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I understand that Pelargonium sidoides is used as a common cold remedy. It would be good to have some reference to this. 78.151.171.85 (talk) 20:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "The edible leaves and flowers are also used as a flavouring in desserts, cakes, jellies and teas."
Are all Pelargonium's edible, or just the scented variety?
Conversely, are all Geraniums not edible?  AnnanFay (talk) 17:51, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

message: This gives the erroneous impression that the name "geranium" is not used in the US.  At least for cultivated varieties, "geranium" is certainly the usual word.  Kostaki mou (talk) 01:56, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: All information added to Wikipedia should comply with the 3 core policies of verifiability (see WP:V), no original research (see WP:OR) and neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV). Hence you would need to find reliable secondary sources (see WP:IRS) to support any additions. I hope that hasn't baffled you with jargon, but those links should answer your question.

message: I've removed some material (see below) that belongs more in a how-to guide than an encyclopedia (see WP:NOTHOWTO), and is also largely devoid of references to reliable sources. —Coconutporkpie (talk) 14:17, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there should be some material on how pelargoniums are cultivated (factual, not how-to), but I agree that what was removed wasn't correctly written. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
