[edit] Genus or species
Is this article about the genus Symphytum or about the species Symphytum officinale? It makes a difference for interwiki. Other wikipedia tend to have seperate articles for the species and the genus. Taka 06:56, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I would vote to have this be a species page, and move the generic info to Symphytum. The word "comfrey" by itself is used for S. officinale. The other species are always qualified. This was the same logic I used for [onion]] -- WormRunner 17:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I will agree with any solution, English names of organisms are not my strongest point of knowledge. It would be nice to seperate the genus from the species. Taka 07:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Addition: concerning interwiki's this article is now mainly considered to be about the genus. Also the taxobox points at an article about the genus. Taka 07:01, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
