Nice work. I once spent a morning helping poison a patch of the stuff by hand to keep it from beating out the local Stylisma pickeringii. Are you familiar with either Biodiversity Heritage Library or Botanicus? Between them, they have all but the past few years of American Fern Journal and many of the East Coast botanical journals available free online; maybe there's something there you'll find useful for your coast.

I've "sexed this up" with a little more info on the event that prompted Martine et al. to write their paper and submitted it for DYK.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carex petasata until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. WOLfan112 (talk) 18:43, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I recently noticed your work on Euphorbia purpurea and Matelea alabamensis, both with connections to my home state (although sadly one is now thought extinct there) and just wanted to say thank you very much! Altairisfar (talk) 17:13, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
...for making some unusual plants appear in Wikipedia, in this case Narthecium americanum. I should be able to get a photo for that this summer. (I'll try to get it in bloom at Webb's Mill, but I should be visiting Warren Grove in the fall.) I might just stumble across Euphorbia purpurea elsewhere (I'll be botanizing something else in an area with known populations), but that's likely to be harder to spot.

Greetings, I am visiting because I've noticed your contributions posted in Colorado Project articles; those pertaining to genus and species that are italicized (some genus italicized, some genus not italicized) and some article titles which are italicized have intrigued my curiosity. Why the italics are being used (in particular the list of recent articles and changes at the WP:Colorado section)? I am a recently new editor and so far I've found that the use of italics refer to book titles, and certain other policy/guideline factors discouraging use of italics for emphasis. This is just my need to know (biology taxonomically) about italicized species and genus. And as an end note - kudos on all your contributions, hopefully I might be able to emulate the efforts in my own contributions O = MC4 17:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for writing. Both genus and species should be italicized; if I did not italicize, it was an accident and feel free to fix it. If the article title is a scientific name it should be italicized too. More info can be found at the page for Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life. There are also lots of plant experts watching the talk page for WikiProject Plants for plant questions. Thanks again, -IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 19:39, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While reviewing the links above, I made some edits. My boldness increases with every edit; so far I have no peer reviews or comments of such edits and would appreciate some feedback should you be so inclined. Thanks again, this has been a viable learning experience for this new editor. O = MC4 22:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How to explain to non-botanist admin that field guides based on Jepson, when used as sources, may look like copyright violations, but are not
Justlettersandnumbers tagged this[2] as a "blatant" vopyright violation, without citing any examples. The articles as I been finding them (typically first written by you, IceCreamAntiSocial), are all essentially already in this format, but in narrative paragraph form, without inline citations. I have started breaking them into sections, putting in the inline citations, and adding in bits and pieces from other sources or different pages of the same source. I can see how this would look like a copyright violation to anyone that does not know that most field guides, when used as a source, all say about the same content, with variations on the wording.
To a non-botanist, this may look like a coyright violation. But it is not a copyright violation. The article cites three sources. The source I used in one example, Mojave Desert Wildflowers, is a field guide that is based on the Jepson Manual. Anyone who uses Jepson (the only thing going in California) would write essentially the same article. If someone had a different field guide, it would be based on Jepson, and result in essentially the same article, too. Plants are typically identified, e.g., in the Jepson Manual, by location (habitat and range -what kind of place, how far and wide they are found, etc.), and by a taxonomic description - overall growth pattern (e.g. shrub, tree, etc.), leaves and stems, flowers and fruit, and sometimes a history of the genus and species name, or of its use by humans or other animals (or plants).
Can you help explain this to Justlettersandnumbers, or explain how to write the above mentioned article without it appearing to be a copyright violation to a non-user of Jepson? (I am putting this same note on PlantDrew's talk page, since PlantDrew seemed to be watching my first few edits.) FloraWilde (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Featured article status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, add your name here
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shawna Stoltenberg until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
