Talk:Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America

message: Is the Republican revolution of 1994 to 2006 a last gasp effort of a dying party?  Will the Republican party go the way of the Populist party of the late 19th to early 20th century? The Communist party of the late 1930s early 1940s? 
Conservative Christians have always been under attack by science and secular humanists, but never more so than today.  Immigration, the World Court, Globalization, Atheism, and declining US church attendance (over the long term), I posit the conservatives realize they are threatened, that the entire world is against "them", so George Bush is the last horrah before the party dissolves.

Talk:Schoenoplectus acutus

message: I found a reference to the phrase "out in the tules" on the page for Tulare Lake, a couple of days ago.  I grew up in Hanford, California and have always heard and used this phrase, however, I do not know if it is a regional colloquial phrase, or if it has wider use.  Today on a national radio program, I heard the phrase used by Rick Steves about travel in Greece.
Also, the same question about the phrase "tule fog."  I used the phrase in conversation a few days ago and had to explain it to the listener.  Which is how I ended up looking at the page for Tulare Lake in the first place.  Anybody got some info on these phrases?Michael J Swassing 01:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Iʻm trying to reference an edit I made regarding Lucy Moore, the girl who survived the Bloody Island Massacre by breathing through a tule reed, using sources from the Bloody Island Massacre page.  I've been out of editing for awhile, and I'm not sure if I'm just rusty or really out of it, but I can't seem to get my refs to work.  Help?
There is Sacramento Native American Health Clinic (SNAHC), (916)341-0575. in Sacramento, California. It was rolling a full information video on the subject of Lucy Moore about a couple of years ago.  The tv must of broke then the video was not put into use again.  They could probably provide the name of the video creators.

thread_title:  Reference help please? 

message: The article says Schoenoplectus lacustris is a synonym of Schoenoplectus acutus. The articles (iw linked) that use the latter seems to say it is a North American species, like this article, while the ones using the former seem to mostly say it is an Eurasian species.
I wonder whether the confusion is about different species, somewhere said to be the same, or variants of the species, where different wikipedias have article about either the North American or Eurasian variant.
Either way, something has to be done. Either there are errors in multiple wikipedias or there is information left out about the relation between Schoenoplectus lacustris (in Eurasia?) and Schoenoplectus acutus (in North America?).

thread_title:  Schoenoplectus acutus and Schoenoplectus lacustris 

message: The use of "tule" as a common name throughout the article seems too California-centric for such a widespread species. "Tule" is, as far as I can tell, unused and unknown across most of the species' range in the US and Canada, where it's generally known as "hardstem bulrush". Should the article use that common name instead, or perhaps use the Latin binomial? Such a change would need to be carried over to the brief description on Schoenoplectus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:4:D00:14A:211:24FF:FEA5:511B (talk) 22:56, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Why do you think it warrants its own page? I think some of the information in the article is pointless. For example, I think both the "Process" and the "Tools/Technology" serve no real purpose and can be deleted. I also think that "Goals" and "Role in an Organization" can be summarised in a couple of sentences (keeping them is debatable). I vote for merge. --Kmsiever 16:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cyperus rotundus

message: Quoting the article: "Some part of the plant was eaten by humans at some point in ancient history." - Excuse me, what? That's not actually encyclopedic. If anyone on the English wiki wants to improve that article and add actual information, here's some reference in German: dpa in Spiegel Online, July 17th, 2014. Apperently the edible plant is rich of carbohydrates and was eaten in the middle stone age. And it indeed seems to hinder the bacterium "streptococcus mutans". 
Also, this article seems to need some quality check - why the heavy stressing of this plant as a "weed" in the entire main section? A short note that it's regarded as a weed in some regions is perfectly enough. Prefaced by biological details about the plant followed by actual information about scientific findings regarding historical usage and medical studies. -- ZweiterSternVonLinks (talk) 22:11, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: There used to be two species Hierochloe odorata and Hierochloe hirta. Apparently, the Genus Hierochloe has been absorbed into Anthoxanthum. Meanwhile there was a species Hierochloe odorata, which it would seem would now be Anthoxanthum odoratum, but no, apparently that is a whole different species... Anthoxanthum hirtum, which now has multiple subspecies.  SO... Anthoxanthum odoratum is not the same as "holy grass, vanilla grass" which are the common names for Hierochloe odorata.  I have no idea about "buffalo grass" but I'm guessing since this is a Eurasian species, that is wrong as well. Besides, Buffalo grass is usually Bouteloua dactyloides.   
If you compare the seed heads of Hierochloe odorata and Anthoxanthum odoratum then you'll see what I mean.

replies: text: Spinifex (plant) → ? – Similarly to the recent nasturtium case, here we have a disambiguator that doesn't disambiguate much:  plants in the genus Triodia are also commonly known as "spinifex". I think the most natural disambiguator would be "coastal grass" (the other spinifex is also a grass, but it grows inland). Disambiguation by subfamily ("Panicoideae") is probably not optimal as that name is hardly recognisable, while "genus" should – obviously, I'd have thought – be off the table because the other plant is also a genus. – Uanfala (talk) 10:42, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

text: Spinifex (grass) any good? YorkshireExpat (talk) 19:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Both spinifexes are grasses. – Uanfala (talk) 23:28, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, in that case why is (genus) off the table? There is only one genus actually called Spinifex. YorkshireExpat (talk) 08:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The scientific name of the other genus of spinifexes isn't Spinifex, but they constitute a genus and they are called spinifexes. To use "genus" as a disambiguator is to exploit an obscure technicality that won't make sense to the majority of readers. – Uanfala (talk) 10:36, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As the two genera are so closely related, you might as well do Spinifex (actual real Spinifex). The only thing separating the two that's less technical than the subfamily name is the fact that one has the common name Spinifex and the other has the generic name Spinifex. YorkshireExpat (talk) 11:14, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: A less technical thing separating the two is the fact that one of them grows on coasts and the other doesn't. Hence my initial proposal for the disambiguator "coastal grass". – Uanfala (talk) 11:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:List of subtribes and genera of Bambuseae

message: This article isn't a discussion of the taxonomy of the tribe Bambuseae (its history, rationale, development, etc.) but a list of the subdivisions (subtribes) of the Bambuseae. For consistency with other such articles, it should be moved to something like "List of subtribes of Bambuseae" or "List of subtaxa of Bambuseae". Peter coxhead (talk) 09:21, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

message: This page consists of an inaccurate, unsourced list of subtribes and genera. The page Bambuseae does include sourced and accurate listing of subtribes and genera. Given that this page is wrong and redundant, I suggest that it be removed.

message: This article refers to "Shizostachyum" (with a single "c") as a synonym, but Melocanninae says the subtribe contains the genera "Neohouzeaua" and "Schizostachyum" (with a total of 2 "c"s).
For these to both be correct, someone would have to have (at some point) named genera "Shizostachyum" and "Schizostachyum" and put them in Melocanninae.  This seems insane, so it seems much more likely that any reference to "Shizostachyum" is a typo for "Schizostachyum" and that Schizostachyum has been declared to be a (n obsolete) synonym for Neohouzeaua, possibly disputed by other authorities or subject to further revision.  I'd be tickled if someone who understood what's going on better than I would confirm what I've guessed, edit both articles to reflect that understanding, and provide sensible citations for this.--Wcoole (talk) 23:19, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
