[edit] On memory and our capacity to remember loads of information

Think of a main street in the suburb where you live. Now rty and list all the attributes you can think of about that street; shops, funny houses, broken streetlights, working streetlights, cracks in the footpath, no parking zones, residences, opening hours of shops, cross-streets, schools etc. You should be up to a few hundred items of information. Now think of other streets in your suburb, then other suburb. See how much you remember (alot, isn't it?) My take on this is you don't have to be some child prodigy to remember prodigious amounts of information and we can all be alot more knowledgeable than what we are. Unfortunately alot of what is written or produced for television or other media is really dumbed down to some imaginary lowest common denominator.

Wikipedia provides an opportunity to make sense of chaos and a great bridge between information for laypeople and detailed scientific information for enthusiasts and professionals, and hopefully help upskill several hundred thousand interested readers in the meantime.

[edit] Australian plant notable pages missing

most eucalyptus, hakea, acacia and melaleuca species,

  • Melaleuca fulgens
  • Callistemon pearsonii
  • Grevillea pteridifolia
  • Grevillea shiressii
  • Grevillea baileyana
  • Grevillea venusta

[edit] Cultivars

Grevillea cultivars such as 'Coconut Ice', 'Fire Sprite', 'Golden Yul-lo', 'Misty Pink', 'Orange Marmalade', 'Sandra Gordon', any Poorinda cultivar

Also, weedy issues on Acacia saligna and Billardiera heterophylla...previously Sollya heterophylla, actually the latter doesn't even have a page. While we're at it, Madeira vine Anredera cordifolia only has a minor note about weedy potential.

Banksia integrifolia gets 20-30 hits a day Banksia gets around 100 Grevillea gets 40-160 eucalyptus gets 1,300 gets 200 Grevillea banksii gets 10-15 gets around 60 Kalbarri NP gets 10-20
