Talk:Wilkesia gymnoxiphium

message: The assertion that this species is "sometimes" called a green sword is from an early edit by an unsigned user at an IP that has been warned repeatedly for vandalism and blocked, after which he/she/it seems to have disappeared.  While this assertion is not vandalism, assuming good faith, there is no evidence I can find for the assertion. It cannot really be disproved-- if no one else called it a green sword I guess the anon editor did, and lots of people refer to any pointed leaf as a sword, and most leaves tend to be green.   It is an unfortunate source of confusion which has required an editor to write a clarification in the article and introduce a Cit Needed flag.  In the interests of common sense, accuracy, and cleaning up this small but irritating mess, I seek consensus to delete the assertion and the resulting work-around language. Anyone?Alawa (talk) 18:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch; somehow I never noticed that.  In my experience Wilkesia are never referred to as greenswords (the only common name is iliau), so I just went ahead and deleted the sentence.  It's one of my biggest peeves about WP that 99% of IP-user edits are vandalism, and about 80% of those that aren't are simply wrong.  KarlM (talk) 04:01, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Ourea

message: This page is really in dire need of reliable secondary sources (i.e. not Theoi.com). I've checked Gantz, Hard, Fowler 2013, the OCD, Brill's New Pauly, Grimal, Tripp, March, and Smith, and none of them mention the "ten Ourea" claimed in this article; this seems to come purely from Theoi.com. Gantz dedicates the entirety of one phrase to the Ourea, saying (p. 10) that "[t]he Ourea are clearly just a feature of the landscape..."; basically every other source either says nothing about them other than that they were the children of Gaia, or doesn't mention them at all. Considering the extremely scant coverage, this article seems to have expanded far beyond what it should be. – Michael Aurel (talk) 05:48, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that none of the sources above mention the "ten Ourea", I agree that that should be removed from this article, along with most (if not all) of the discussion of the individual mountains.

Talk:Scalesia

message: I first learned about this genus from the "Adaptation" program of David Attenborough's 2013 TV series "Galapagos".  He pronounced it in such a way I first searched for it here under "Scolasia", and naturally enough got no hits.  Clearly, he's using a Latinate pronunciation for the vowel "e".  Does anybody know the correct pronunciation?  Who decides on what's correct pronunciation for scientific names, anyway?  Is there a guideline somewhere on Wikipedia?
It would be good to have the correct pronunciation given in the article, preferably in IPA, a sound file, or both.  yoyo (talk) 00:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There are IPA pronunciations on some plant articles. There isn't a firm consensus on correct pronunciation though. More Latinate pronunciations are generally regarded as better, but US botanists tend to use less Latinate pronunciation then European botanists. It gets really tricky when dealing with letters where the classical Latin pronunciation diverges from modern pronunciation. English and Spanish speaking botanists usually pronounce "c" as "s" when followed by "e" or "i" (as is typical in English/Spanish, but in Latin, all "c"s are hard); continental European botanists tend towards hard "c"s. Plants named for people are another thorny area; do we give a plant named for Scales a Latinate pronunciation, or say Scales name as it would usually be pronounced in English? I think most English speaking botanists would pronounce the genus Vonroemeria with a "v", which doesn't follow Latin ("w") or the orginal German pronunciation ("f").  Pronunciation of scientific names can be tricky. Plantdrew (talk) 19:39, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Astereae

message: The present organization of this page allows no path for readers interested in, e.g., the North American clade to follow up. The article, in effect, says that the old Genus / species taxonomic organization has been judged inadequate and has been replaced by the higher-res "tribe" and "clade" organization — but then fails to provide links to follow up on this — and then proceeds to provide only links to genera.
This may make sense to those writing the articles, but is opaque to those reading them. rowley (talk) 23:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure exactly what you are suggesting, but the article could certainly be expanded quite a bit, including a lot more discussion of what is in the North American clade and so on. To some extent, whether this is practical depends on how much of a scientific consensus there is. When a classification gets rearranged as fundamentally as this one, it usually takes a fair bit of time from different researchers to place all the species (there are 2,800 of them).

message: Potential update to article:
Echinacea purpurea has recently been shown to elicit bronchodilatory and antitussive effects for respiratory illnesses. The antitussive characteristic is similar to that of codeine, an opioid derivative. Capek P, Sutovska M, Kocmalova M, Franova S, Pawlaczyk I, Gancarz R. 2015. Chemical and pharmacological profiles of Echinacea complex. International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 79(1): 388-391.  Further, data supports that E. purpurea may have the ability to reverse viral infections, specifically rhinovirus type 14, by neutralizing the elevation of cytokine secretion induced by the common cold. Altamirano-Dimas M, Sharma M, Hudson JB. 2009. Echinacea and anti-inflammatory cytokine responses: results of a gene and protein array analysis. Pharmaceutical Biology 47(6): 500-508.

If this could be found in a source less partisan than Labor Voice, it would be quite interesting to include, especially given 2004 essentially validated this conclusion also.
