replies: text: Very strange.  I tried adding and subtracting thumb and frame tags, and I tried putting it on another page instead of this one, both with no luck.  I thought of downloading the full version and reuploading it under another name, but clicking on the "download high resolution" link brought me to an error page, both here and on the Commons.  That seems somehow suggestive, but I'm not sure exactly of what. Perhaps you could reupload it under the same or under a different name? — Pekinensis 13:47, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I re-uploaded at the Commons. Seems to be working now. BrianSmithson 21:15, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Marshman, could you explain your recent removal of text in more detail?  I'm not sure I understand your edit summary.  — Pekinensis 04:31, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I deleted all the material about "this plant".  This is an article about the Genus Xanthosoma. The information you provided seems interesting and valuable, but because there was no way to relate "this plant" to any one of the many species of Xanthosoma, the text simply did not fit the article. If you can establish the species for that text, then it could be returned here under a heading for that species. The sense of it was simply not that you were describing all Xanthosomna species. - Marshman 04:32, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks good.  That was what I had in mind - Marshman 18:16, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

text: As I said, I see no problem with the information per se. However, the term(s) "this plant" means to me either a specific individual plant or a species of plant.  This article is on the Genus Xanthosoma, therefore correct English requires "these plants" and the unspecificity of such statements would be helped by creating a subheading (like "Cultivated species") that separates the discussion about these particular plant species from all the species in the genus. As I was unclear what subheading applied, I could not do it myself.  Just using "these plants" implies the information pertains to all species of Xanthosoma. - Marshman 18:13, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
