[edit] No merge

Since the Tree of Heaven is one species of the Genus Ailanthus, I don't think these articles should be merged. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mattsop (talk • contribs). 19 September 2005

[edit] title

Shouldn't "heaven" be capitalized in the title, since it's capitalized throughout the article (or is it the article that's wrong?) 172.164.253.241 02:59, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The article title should actually be moved to its scientific name per the flora naming convention. As a matter of style, however, both capitalized and uncapitalized species common names are accepted, since no consensus has been reached in Wikipedia policy or manual of style. Personally, I lean toward uncapitalized, except for proper nouns, of course. This is also the suggestion of the Chicago Manual of Style. But you're right, normally it should be consistent, and per Wiki policy, either is considered correct. We've had extensive discussion at WikiProject Plants on this issue, if you want to check it out. --Rkitko 09:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
