Talk:Cutting (plant)

message: Perhaps someone could add a brief how-to for removing said cuttings without maiming the donor plant? It sounds like fun, but I certainly wouldn't want to kill my coworker's plant in the process!
:Hi, I've added a step-by-step guide for striking a plant and some additional information. I hope it helps. Sam 21:31, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I moved this article from Cutting (plant) to Striking because at the time I thought the technical term for propagation by cuttings was "striking". I've been doubting this assertion, though, and looked in one of my horticulture books today and found absolutely no mention of it. A Google search comes up with nothing but this article. Have I made a mistake? I could have sworn I read the term "striking" used in a professional publication but I can't find any mention of it now. Sam 22:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it just me or does this article read more like a howto guide than a wiki entry?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alecjw (talk • contribs) 09:28, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It does, and Wikipedia is clearly against articles written as howto guides. I've copyedited some of it and flagged the worst section - any further editing would be appreciated. --McGeddon (talk) 12:18, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Style? 

message: I just removed the following section from the article, as it was copied verbatim from this webpage:  (which, interestingly, was cited as a reference for it.) Such copying goes strictly against Wikipedia policy, as summarized under WP:PLAGIARISM. Note that this is also the section that User:McGeddon tagged as being too much of a how-to.
If someone wants to rewrite this to fit the policy guidelines and be less how-to-ish, go ahead! –The Fiddly Leprechaun · Catch Me! 16:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I just discovered that attempting to open the article at "Rooting" redirects to this article. I would submit that a reader looking for "Rooting" is far more likely to be seeking the subject covered in the article "Rooting (Android OS)" (as I was) than the subject of this article about plant cuttings. Therefore I propose that the "Rooting" meta-article be changed to redirect to the "Rooting (Android OS)" article, rather than to this one. If deemed necessary, an italicized sentence could be inserted at the beginning of the "Rooting (Android OS)" article to refer readers looking for information about plant propagation to this article (although I personally have never heard the term "rooting" used in this way). — Jaydiem (talk) 00:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the opinion that readers looking for "Rooting" are rather interested in the technical procedure. But I'm against a redirection to the article "Rooting (Android OS)". The rooting technique is not exclusive to the Android OS (e.g. see SamyGO. Therefore, the general term "Rooting" mustn't be redirected to one specific implementation. I recommend the creation of a general article "Rooting" containing links to specific implementations (e.g. Android OS). In case there is not enough "body" to fill a seperate article an according chapter can be created in the article Superuser where "Rooting" could be redirected to. -- Ben4Wiki (talk) 16:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm a horticulturist, and I honestly think that this article is unnecessary. A page for cutting should simply be part of wikitonary because it's just a terminology used in plant propagation, and I plan to rewrite the plant propagation page to include the information of this page. Once the rewrite is complete, I don't think this page will be necessary. MonkeysOnThePatio (talk) 02:51, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The introduction article and the Types of cuttings can stay here. The rest I hope got moved properly to wikiversity: Plant propagation or Wikiversity:Transwiki:Plant propagation (for now?) using these instructions http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Transwiki (maybe its pending). If I did this wrong, perhaps someone who knows about this can help with this process.
Few parts from the wiki article Plant propagation could go there too. Sidelight12 Talk 19:10, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

message: this article really needs a history section, it is really quite an important topic.  Info the oldest/most important cultivated cuttings would also be useful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.207.129.95 (talk) 04:15, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The "Providing the right soil" section says to add chalk:
chalk; to increase the pH-value of the soil; a pH of 6-6.5 is to be maintained
6 - 6.5 is fairly acidic soil. Can you really do that with chalk?
Maybe we are talking about calcium sulfate and not calcium carbonate?
