message: "On March 7, 1901, Lupinus subcarnosus (also known as Buffalo clover) became the only species of bluebonnet recognized as the state flower of Iowa. "
This is the only mention of Iowa in the middle of a discussion of the Texas state flower.  Should it say Texas instead?

message: It seems like Bluebonnet should link to Bluebonnet (disambiguation) as the term means so many different things in different parts of the world.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 16:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation 

message: I know we Texans love our bluebonnet pictures, but there were, and probably still are, too many photos here. So, I removed several either redundant, marginal-quality, or irrelevant photos in a small attempt to improve the article. —DoRD (talk) 01:51, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Has that file even been uploaded? I'm not seeing it. —DoRD (talk) 01:06, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, after reading the file name again, I'll add that Jeff Pruitt is a professional photog in Arlington, Texas, so the photo will almost certainly be a copyvio. —DoRD (talk) 01:08, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

text: all article content needs to be relevant to the subject. It seems from the description that it's rather doubtful it is.  There seems to be at least one other irrelevant picture also, the one of a dog.  DGG ( talk ) 01:25, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The subject is the bluebonnet flower, and the dog is amongst the bluebonnets. Although it does seem to be more about the dog. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:29, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As it is the state flower of Texas, and it is longstanding tradition in Texas to photograph one's children surrounded by Bluebonnets, I think that such a photo would be acceptable if the article included some sourced explanation of the tradition. A better photograph, however, would be a photograph of a photographer taking a photo of said children. I agree that the dog is simply fluff, though. —DoRD (talk) 01:35, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, so a photo of a non-notable person who's identified by name is not an issue? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 02:02, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I wouldn't say that. I was thinking more along the lines of a generic photo of an unnamed photog taking a photo of some random family's children sitting in a typical field of bluebonnets. —DoRD (talk) 02:32, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The reasons why I have been involved in this "edit war" is pretty much what you have discussed as far as the photo goes.  At first it was merely a nuisance.  While I agree with Floquenbeam that it was a bit laughable, but I would have appreciated some guidance in the proper procedures before it got to the point that it did. In fact, I had also asked WhisperToMe some guidance, but I erroneously thought that was my only recourse was to put it up for deletion. When I tried to nominate the file, it was simply ignored.  You can see this has been a long series of errors, and misjudgments.  It was only after I saw the link to this "Debate" that I hope this gets resolved properly.  So much for the "Stern warning" and see my overall body of edits as opposed to this minor incident.  --Hourick (talk) 03:49, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

text: The main concern about it at ANI seemed to be the copyright question. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe another concern mentioned by two people was that the photo is mostly about the person, not really about the bluebonnets.  I note that the photo of the dog in the bluebonnets has also been removed. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
