[edit] fr:Cèdre à encens

Thanks for correcting my French errors at fr:Cèdre à encens! One small point, I noticed the link fr:Calocedrus decurrens is a redirect back to the page - MPF 01:05, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ok I will create a stub about Calocedrus decurrens.Pixeltoo 01:22, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Metasequoia honshuenensis

Hi Pixeltoo - yes; the Flora of China reference states "Name appeared after publication of the family treatment for the Flora of China", so they had not had the opportunity to investigate it at the time they went to publication. They are merely listing the name as having been published, without comment. The Kew World Checklist and Bibliography of Conifers (2nd edition 2003) dismisses it, as it also does Silba's "Metasequoia neopangaea" ("discovered" in a University gardens in New York!). The type specimen of "M. honshuenensis" is from a planted tree Riverside Municipal Park, near Grants Pass in Oregon; there is no evidence at all that it originates from any source other than the 1948 introduction from China. Silba is infamous among conifer taxonomists for his ludicrous proliferation of "new" taxa (of which there are dozens in his "Journal of the International Conifer Preservation Society", an unreviewed self-published publication - MPF 22:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi Pixeltoo - "I saw many other Araucaria taxons discovered by Silba in New Caledonia. Are they all factitious ?". There are 13 New Caledonia species (none named by Silba) accepted by the Kew Checklist and other botanists; others described by Silba are best ignored - MPF 23:25, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] commons:Image:Dual.PNG

It was a mishap, I meant to save it as DualCitizenMap.PNG, but I typed the name first then selected the file, which overwrote my custom name, without me noticing. When I noticed I didn't really care. I'll move it again to there then. +Hexagon1 (talk) 12:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Moved it. +Hexagon1 (talk) 12:37, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

The article Tanegashima knife has been nominated for deletion. Your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanegashima knife would be welcome. I noticed that Japanese cutlery does not mention the Tanegashima knife. --Eastmain (talk) 00:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
