[edit] Talk

What is the authority for saying "von Gesner"? Other encyclopedisa (such as present-day EB) just say "Conrad Gesner". Stan 19:07, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the "von" either, afterall he is not listed himself on the plant index. I moved it back to the earlier title. "Konrad Gessner" or "Conrad Gessner" seem to be present-day spellings. -- User:Docu

[edit] Review comments

Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

• Template:Infobox Scientist should be added
• Lead needs expanding to cover all aspects of the subject's life and research
• Article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
• Information on research should be expanded
• A list of works would be useful
• References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
• External links present which could be used to expand article
