Talk:Humulus lupulus

message: Formal request has been received to merge: Hops into ; dated: March 2023. Proposer's Rationale: ,,,with a redirect from Hops. These articles cover the same topic with almost the same information There would be mutual benefit to both from the slightly different perspectives of each. Hops is mostly about the industrial use of Lupulus, which is focussed on the botanic. Ex nihil.  Discuss here. GenQuest "scribble" 15:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Celtis occidentalis

message: It would be better to have the leaves description and picture section above the bark section, since a lot of people will, like me, be visiting to try to identify the tree from the shape of the leaves and how they're positioned on the branch. 
On that: there ought to be a picture that clearly shows  how the   leaves (which are not distinctively shaped and so don't immediately identify it) are positioned alternating on the branch/twig rather than right across from each other, as with an ash tree. I couldn't find a federal govt. no-copyright picture or I would have added it.

thread_title:  Sugarberry 

message: I live in Austin, TX and I have recently discovered that we have a new hackberry tree out in our front yard. It just sprung up this year.
We were warned about it from our Austin Water guy who came out to check our meter.
In particular, he warned me that they make an unholy mess, partly because of the berries themselves, but also partly because of all the birds that are attracted to them and then shit all over the place. And that also draws a hellspawn of flies. He strongly recommended we cut it down and drill out the stump and pour in lots of stump killer to make sure it never comes back. Clearly, he has had some bad experiences with them.
So, even if you don't want to update the page relating to the nuisance they cause, you might at least want to mention that they can also be found in Texas. 75.13.92.183 (talk) 16:43, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Celtis laevigata

message: It has been brought to my attention by my botany professor that the difference between Celtis laevigata and Celtis occidentals is the number of teeth on each side of the leaf, not by the shape and texture. C. laevigata has less than 9 teeth, where C. occidentalis has 9-11 teeth. There are no true sources crediting this yet, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

replies: text: Great, thanks for the extra info. The phrase seems to be decently documented:
 but mostly it seems to be documented as just a type of marijuana or slang for marijuana. I'm thinking since there is no mainstream academic discourse on marijuana culture, CC is a reliable source (yes, they seem to have made a mistake at some point in time, but they've admitted it? Even great newspapers make mistakes and have to retract statements.) The point about it not being a reliable source for health effects is a good point, but does not apply to the article as it is about the strain and not the health effects of marijuana. The nickname objection doesn't seem reasonable given the somewhat "fringe-y" nature of the topic and the long publication history of the mag. Marijuana is illegal in many Western countries, those who contribute do so anonymously for this reason (I'm guessing). I'd say it seems pretty reasonable to use the source. Does this comment help? Is there anything either editor feels has gone unaddressed? Phyesalis (talk) 14:59, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Tapestry (Don McLean album)

message: Most sources indicate this album was released in 1970 (Mediarts) or 1971 (United Artists' "re-launch" after they acquired Mediarts).  One seemingly authoritative source, www.don-mclean.com indicates the initial Mediarts release year was 1969, "...Don McLean's debut album Tapestry was issued by Mediarts in 1969...".  Although elsewhere in the same site, it seems to indicate a release year of 1970 for the album.  Perhaps the "recording" may have occured in 1969 but the album's release was in 1970???

Talk:Ficus sycomorus

message: Mark Marathon, the part you deleted is a valid disambiguation. A Georgian (talk) 15:45, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The editor who introduced the statement that in English Ficus sycomorus is referred to as "sycomore", while other plants are called & spelled "sycamore", never made any other WP edit before or after that and offered no source, so that it cannot be assessed if this is a valid, generally accepted convention, or just the opinion or personal preference of one individual.
The initial edit is here: [].
The sentence has been filed at repeatedly, including by me today, but nobody offered any source to support the claim. Native-speakers, biologists and grammar buffs, to the rescue! Cheers, ArmindenArminden (talk) 11:05, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Syco- or syca- 

message: I will remove the Hindu section with regard to the tree supposedly being the abode of Lord Dattareya. Why? First the sycomore fig is not native to India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. Neither has it been introduced on a large scale. Secondly, the tree mentioned as Audumbara (Udumbara) is not ficus sycomorus but ficus racemosa also known as gular fig, cluster fig and udumbara.
The two are not the same. So there is some confusion here. --37.24.145.131 (talk) 12:44, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hindu Section Removal 

message: Since no mention is made in the article of any other species of fig, it is possible to gain the impression from the article that the sycamore fig was the dominant food fig in the Israel/Palestine/Lebanon area. It’s food value has been mentioned, but there is no nutritional analysis. Biblical references indicate some usage. But it was not in fact the main food fig in the region: the main food fig was the Common fig Ficus carica, and it is this species which is most commonly referred to in biblical references to figs. I have the understanding that the sycamore was considered “poor man’s food”, and not eaten if the common fig was available. Thus the reference to the prophet Amos being a dresser (or “gatherer”) of sycamores is an indication of his otherwise lowly status. Be that as it may, some indication that it was secondary to the Common fig in terms of food would be appropriate. Ptilinopus (talk) 21:33, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name in Arabic?? 

message: I see there is a lot of confusion regarding this topic, also that there are many images showing M. alba fruits and claiming it's M. nigra just because it is black.
Black-fruiting mulberry trees can be identified based on their leaves, alba leaves are fresh green, the dorsal side is smooth and gleamy, the leaf stalk is longer and has a dorsal canal in it while the nigra leaves have very short stem without any calal and the dorsal side is not smooth (a bit rough actually) the color is deeper, grayish green.
The common name often leads to confusion, M. nigra is very rare in Europe and is not adventive in contary to M. alba which spreads quickly and is a common weed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kormoraan (talk • contribs) 15:03, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
