Talk:Asparagales

message: I have added a section on Diversity, obtained from the Spanish version, as suggested earlier. The 'translation' varies from quite close to somewhat different. I have altered the organization to correspond to APG III, and removed some of the technical botanical language. I intend to use more sections from the Spanish version, but:
* A lot is very heavily technical botany
* It seems to be very much derived from (i.e. translated from) APweb, which partly explains its use of jargon
* It is based on the APG II system and needs some updating to APG III.
Hence I don't think that as much of it should be re-used as might first appear.  Peter coxhead (talk) 11:04, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now added other sections based on en:Asparagales, and removed the template suggesting that additions should be made based on this article. The only part not yet used is the large section in the Spanish version on Phylogeny. However, this appears to be taken more-or-less verbatim from APWeb.  There may be a point in providing an English translation in the Spanish Wikipedia, but I see no point in the English Wikipedia.  It's very technical, and botanists can just read APWeb.  I will work on a simplified summary.  Peter coxhead (talk) 15:49, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Uhm. True, those articles are basically spanish translations from the english bibliography citated at the end of the article, reordered and "wikificated". Articles about orders like this one are principally from APWeb and Soltis & Soltis (2005), those having more information about orders than the other citations. Probably there is no use to have something like this in the english version of wikipedia. Thanks for the corrections, and suggestions are welcomed. RoRo (talk) 01:10, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for NOT making Wikipedia too technical!  WikiP is supposed to be for everybody!

text: The history of the article seems to be that the current lead basically was the article at one time. It needs to be completely re-written as a summary of the article. Over to you, Michael! Peter coxhead (talk) 09:11, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yikes! Thanks. Aded to list. I took a shot at this as part of a a general upgrade of lilioid orders to support the lilioid monocot page. I think the whole thing could do with a rewrite, but of course leads tend to get left to last when the sections they are supposed to summarise are reasonably stable. Another translation point is that the the source is frequently dynamic so that much has happened since the original attempt at translation. I also tagged some problems I saw on the Spanish version which has some nonsensical statements. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 17:45, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Translation' from the Spanish version 

message: "Most species of Asparagales are herbaceous perennials, although some are climbers..." does not follow.  A herbaceous perennial can be a climber, such as perennial sweet peas, if you mean woody climber, you need to say so.

message: I think this tag should now be removed. Our article is very good; there have been serious plagiarism problems in the past when using articles from the Spanish Wikipedia to which EnCASF/CASF has contributed substantially. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:04, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
