Edit summaries

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. While your edits as far as I've seen have been very nice, it's a little confusing at first glance if there's no edit summary. Thanks, Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 20:00, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

categorisation

Hi, I'm going to have to roll back all your categorisations. We only include the most specific categories, not the more generic ones. i.e. if a plant is in Category:Weinmannii, it shouldn't also be in Category:Cunoniaceae, Category:Oxalidales, etc. Hesperian 01:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Parent categories

Please stop adding parent categories to articles that don't need them. The reason, for example that Coast Douglas-fir is not in Category:Trees of the United States is that it is already in the appropriate state categories ("child" categories) that are subcategories of the U.S. category.

degrees, minutes, seconds

Hi,

I'm not sure how I feel about you adding coordinates to locations all over the place, but rather than get into that, let's start with something easy: "34°24′S" does not equal "34.24°S". Do you need me to explain why, or was that just a typo? Hesperian 23:24, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

My point is that the 24 in "34°24′S" refers to 24 minutes of arc, so 34°24′S = 34.4°S. By converting it to 34.24°S you are introducing an error. Hesperian 23:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. The pohutukawa is updated. Greetings PerPlex from the Neo-Norwegian Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.255.53 (talk) 21:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Plantings in other countries

I am a bit concerned about the way you continually add information to articles concerning 'plantings' 'introductions' etc to other countries when they are only references to individual trees in botanic gardens and the like. The end result of this sort of approach would be endless listings of trees in botanic gardens all over the world. "intoductions" suggests the plant is very popular or even naturalised, but this doesn't seem to be the case with the info you are adding. And when you do make reference to a pdf, the title of the pdf and/or its parent publication should be used, not anything else. Kahuroa (talk) 19:52, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
