WikiProject Scotland To-do: edit  Template:Scotland opentask

Using the information currently on this page, we intend to broaden the perspective and round out the article. We will add relevant citations, references, eliminate redundancies and restructure the page with an introduction and sections on biology . We will also add a section on control, as Scotch thistle is a significant agricultural and wildland weed in Northern California. On December 9, 2005, we will post changes and post Scotch thistle and Onopordum acanthium pointer pages to the cotton thistle page, as common names differ regionally.--PBG250 23:53, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

We posted our edits, which include the information that was previously up on the page, and we added two new sections on invasiveness (as seen in Northern California) and control methods.--PBG250 03:37, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
