[edit] Tecoma

Hi RCP - they are different genera, but were formerly (a long time ago!) treated as the same genus, so many of the species of Tabebuia were first described as species of Tecoma. They were then later split out into their own genus. Thus they have synonyms in Tecoma, even though they are no longer included in that genus - MPF 11:49, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of plants of Cerrado vegetation of Brazil

Oi RCP, Eu tenho as seguintes referências que poderiam ampliar esta lista e a lista da Caatinga:

  • Ferri, Mário Guimarães:A Vegetação de Cerrados Brasileiros (editado com Lagoa Santa de Warming).Edição conjunta Itatiaia e Edusp, 1973
  • Ferri, Mário Guimarães (coordenador):III Simpósio sobre o Cerrado, Ed. USP e Ed. Edgard Blücher, 1971

Você acha que isto poderia ajudar? Berton 15:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hyacinthaceae

I would strongly recommend providing an explicit reference or citation for the list of genera provided for this or any other plant family. The circumscriptions of many flowering plant families are in a state of flux so one authority's list may differ considerably from another's. (And please check the spellings of the names, e.g., Hyacynthoides which I'm fairly certain is misspelled. The propagation of misspellings and other misinformation is one unfortunate result of uncritically copying from a website that is apparently not based on published data or peer-reviewed. I don't want to single you out, this has been one of my pet peeves at Wikipedia and one I have railed against numerous times.) MrDarwin 20:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aralia spinosa

Hi Ricardo--I'm pretty sure the application of the common name "toothache tree" to Aralia spinosa is erroneous. This name is generally used for Zanthoxylum, which has had a medicinal usage specifically for its supposed numbing properties. I have seen no references to such medicinal usage for Aralia spinosa although I see this name is used in one of the references linked in the article, and also found references to this name used for Aralia spinosa on the web. My suspicion is that this name arises from confusion of this species with Zanthoxylum, which shares some other common names with Aralia spinosa, and most likely because of sloppy scholarship in the herbal references. I'm not sure how best to deal with this in the article so I'm leaving it for now. MrDarwin 14:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In your wanderings...

Hi RCP,

You've been all over my watchlist the past couple months... finally followed your contribs to see what it's all about :).

If during your travels through the collection of plant and garden articles you notice any that have "how-to" information (how to grow, sow, cut, dig, etc.), please let me know. This sort of information is frowned upon on wikipedia, and often gets deleted before it can be moved to wikibooks (where it's more than welcome... the {{Howto}} template unfortunately seems to do nothing more than spur contributors to delete these sections in order to "prevent their articles from being exiled to wikibooks").

Since you removed and then later re-added a link to b:A Wikimanual of Gardening, I assume you know where it all goes... if you want to just transwiki the stuff yourself, please do (but be sure to follow the WB protocols, or it will possibly end up getting deleted anyway). If you have any suggestions on building up that book, please let me know (or better yet just join the fun and write in it!) I suspect that a lot of wikipedia readers who go to plant articles are looking for this kind of information, and it's a good idea to keep any contributions along those lines somewhere for them.

BTW, Bailey's book was at one time transwikied (in it's entirety) from gutenburg to wikibooks (see b:Manual_of_Gardening), and has since been partially transferred to commons. If you'd be interested in annotating it (i.e., wikilinking and and such), it could be re-transwikied. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 19:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Globularia vulgaris

Why is Globularia vulgaris a redirect to Globularia trichosantha? Vulgaris has its own article in the French and Swedish Wikipedias. Punkmorten 08:54, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gratiola

Thank you for reference in ukrainian page. There is small problem. Article in uk:Авран about Genus:Gratiola. Also in pt:Gratiola and lt:Raitinytė. In hu and en about Species:Gratiola officinalis. Necessary to regulate intewiki-conflict. --Yakudza 20:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I probably mistaken, but You were an author of the article Gratiola officinalis. I correct this problem. --Yakudza 20:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brazil

Hi how is life in Brazil? What is the temperature there at present? I have always wanted to go to Brazil, Argentina and Peru. My cousin Jonathen Cornelius lives in Lima who I may visit some time. São Paulo and Rio are a bit busy though!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

My life in Barry in the countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan (the photo on the page is from my bedroom window) in Wales seems extremely privelaged compared to some people in Brazil. I studied Sao Paulo as part of my geography degree and I was amazed at the contrast in lifestyle that exists in the city. The very rich living in Gated communities next door to shanty town settlments because of uneven development. This causes a lot of resentment between the rich and poor which may lead to violence. What work have you been doing on wikipedia. I would be willing to help you out with starting Brazilian articles although I am very busy see my contribs. e.g Shalu Monastery, William Garwood, Margit Anna etc. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:08, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

How very extraordinary! I compiled the List of Fiats see the list but there is a fiat template you can use see Fiat Turbina. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 19:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Nice work mate I like Acioa edulis. Your country is undoubtedly the most biologically rich and diverse on the planet. There must be millions of articles on Brazilian forestry and species that are missing from wikipedia. Do you agree? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

HI yes but the main problem is (I studied this for my 1st class Geography Degree) is that international debt in Brazil and the need to develop economically is seen as of primary importance with devastating consequences for the natural forest of Brazil. The rate of deforestation and logging to sell timber and to make way for mining and cattle ranches has been appalling. Not only does deforestation remove a extremely beautiful forest but it is removing one of the most important sources of oxygen on planet earth and removing an important in taker of Carbon dioxide - worsening current greenhouse effect problems. Not only that the burning of forest can only enhance Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. I am planning on a career as an ecologist myself. Understood? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

HI. I have seen Astrocaryum vulgare and have started Astrocaryum genus - please check this and categorize it further. but can I give you a few slight corrections on your English. ON the article Astrocaryum vulgare for instance it should read like this:

Astrocaryum vulgare is a palm native TO Amazon Rainforest vegetation, which IS typical of Pará state in Brazil

rather than from!! I speak Spanish and I know that the word de means to and from. It is probably similar in Portugese to English. Your English is very good though. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:59, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Como está a vida em Brasil? I haven't seen your name in ages. I am considering entering a job to help in the war against global warming. I am currently looking around to see what work I can find. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WPBiography tags

Hi, I've noticed you adding a lot of WikiProject Biography tags to articles. While certainly helpful, I was wondering if you would be able to rate some of the articles you're adding the tags on. It would make it much easier on all of us.--Wizardman 07:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No, thank you!

I still can't believe you're willing to do it, and never get side-tracked with all the fluff. Wikipedia does have a good number of editors like you, though, who quietly go about the detail work necessary to make it a useful, functioning contribution to the overall usefulness of cyberspace.

[edit] Phytophthora

Question: On 21 February you added the Fungi Project banner to the Phytophthora discussion page. I thought that the Fungi Project was limited to Kingdom Fungi. Is it broader? Also, do you have any input regarding the proper kingdom for Phytophthora? See, for example Talk:Oomycete --Bejnar 15:52, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

[edit] Radishes

Hi,

I noticed you re-added the medical uses section to radishes, with a reference. I removed it in the first place because of the lack of a reference for the treatment of intestinal parasites. I ended up removing your reference (as it had no actual 'references' of its own) but substituted another one I found that did have a reference list. All this to say you may want to look at the page again to see if th changes were acceptable.

Thanks,

[edit] WP:PLANTS importance assessment

Greetings! I've noticed you've been assessing some articles for WP:PLANTS. Thanks! With 6,000+ articles unassessed, we need all the help we can get. I just wanted to mention that you may have been assessing the articles' importance a little on the high side. Take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Plants/Assessment#Importance scale and also the discussion Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#Assessment and Project Banner where I presented some information on assessment. Some of the articles like deadly nightshade may be highly read pages, but they present a narrow topic. So it doesn't seem to be Low-importance or High-importance. Mid seem like a good assessment. Though I suppose it doesn't matter much. I just wanted to bring those two links to your attention. :-) Cheers, --Rkitko (talk) 02:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
