[edit] Improvements

At a time when most comments are to flame somebody's stupid remarks it's refreshing to be able to comment favourably about the improvement that's been done in this article. Although I did some of the early work on this article, he's proven that I was in well over my head. Too bad the contributor is anonymous; we need more like him.

[edit] Please repair cut-and-paste move

Musa was moved by cut and paste to Musa (Musaceae) by anonymous user 195.7.55.146 in November 2004 and replaced with a redirect to Musa (disambiguation). This is an unsatisfactory state of affairs because the history is missing from the article. There are two possible solutions to this, given below. I'd be happy with either solution.

Keep the article on the genus at Musa (Musaceae) and merge the histories; move Musa (disambiguation) to Musa.
Move the article on the genus back to Musa and merge the histories; leave Musa (disambiguation) as it is.

Done what I can for now. There is some history left at Musa (Musaceae)/history that will be merged in when technically possible. violet/riga (t) 23:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. Gdr 19:44, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

[edit] Edible Banana Species

The edible banana section is good but it only mentions a few botanical names. I've decided to make a list of all the EDIBLE-FRUITED species on the talk page, including commercially non-viable species, using botanical names where possible:
