- In the section, "Pearl Millet around the world" there is no source to back up any of the claims made by the writer of where and how pearl millet is ground around the world. -On "Research and development" there is no source to back up the last paragraph. -In the Namibia section of "Pearl Millet around the world", the source used, #5, is not applicable to what is being discussed. -There is no source to back up the first paragraph's last few sentences, "and it spread rapidly through India reaching South India by 1500 BC, based on evidence from the site of Hallur. Cultivation also spread throughout eastern and southern parts of Africa. Pearl millet is widely grown in the northeastern part of Nigeria (especially in Borno and Yobe states). It is a major source of food to the local villagers of that region. The crop grows easily in that region due to its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions like drought and flood. Records exist for cultivation of pearl millet in the United States in the 1850s, and the crop was introduced into Brazil in the 1960s."

I would like to see if there are any journal articles favoring the inclusion of pearl millet in the genus Cenchrus over the genus Pennisetum. Otherwise I recommend reverting the taxonomic name in the scientific classification pannel back to Pennisetum glaucum. Another idea would be to include an article subsection discussing the taxonomic history of this species and why this species belongs in the genus Cenchrus rather than Pennisetum. I would greatly appreciate it if another user would reply to this topic in a timely manner since the last time I started a topic in the talk page of an article on taxonomy, I got no answer.Rigognos Molinarios (talk) 21:40, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
