message: The taxonomy of this group of plants is still under dispute as to a number of species. Rataj produced the latest revision (Aqua Press, 2004) but aspects of his previous conclusions have been disputed by Neils Jacobsen and others. I have tried to follow the general concensus, particularly the work of Christel Kasselmann in her definitive work Echinodorus published by Dahne Verlasg (2001).

message: The wording of the statement "It is one of the smallest PCs in the world, and as of 2007 is the smallest computer that runs Windows Vista." is unclear. Is the Model 2 one of the smallest PC's in the world that is capable of running Windows Vista? Or is the Model 2 generally one of the smallest PC's in the world, and it just so happens it can run Vista? The difference is between a size comparison of Vista capable machines, and a general size comparison, with an extra statement of the machine being Vista capable. I don't know enough on the topic to change the statement one way or another.

message: I was doing research on Najas and noted that the article mentions the genus was discovered by an Emma Boughey, "first discovered by the African adventurer, Emma Boughey." I believe the type species is Najas marina, the genus name is credited to Linne. I can find no other mention of Emma Boughey. All Google searches just show copies of the Wikipedia article. Emma sounds like a woman's name. It would be very interesting to find a woman that was discovering new plants in Africa at the time of Linne. I find it very odd that there is no other mention of such a person anywhere. I checked the contributors list to find out who made the addition of the name. It seems to have been added here: 10:09, 23 May 2009 194.70.149.82 (talk) (1,754 bytes) (undo). I checked the user page and the user talk page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:194.70.149.82.

Talk:Triglochin maritima

message: I understand my sentence about this plant's cyanogenic properties was barebones, but that's almost all the reference gives us to work with. From the source i had provided:
"Triglochin maritima is important in livestock management because it is quite toxic: it is a cyanide producer."
From that, we can see it seems to be toxic enough that livestock owners would want to be aware of its presence. So i believe the reverted sentence has a place in the article. The source that followed it is currently already used in the article, in the Flora of North America link.
:OK, but it should be dealt with in the body of the article and not in the lead. If there is concern about it in the agricultural community in US, you can probably also get a reliable source from USDA.Plantsurfer 17:40, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Viola Allen

message: There seems to be this ongoing discrepancy of her birth year, 1867 or 1869. Daniel Blum's 1952 "Great Stars of the American Stage" claims October 27 1869, and he seems to have interviewed many of the legendary stars in that book including Ms. Allen who had passed away just four years before Blum's book was published. On the other hand Edward T. James 1971 "Notable American Women, 1607-1950"  on page 38 claims October 27 1867 as Viola's true date of birth. This is also on her grave marker. I'll leave the 1867 date for now, as we keep flopping back and forth between the two dates. Certainly some sort of document or Census record exists to put this matter to rest.
