...It does appear to cite some sources. Update to a more accurate tag? 67.66.92.222 11:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Needs pinpoint refs, not simply general refs. --Shirt58 (talk) 10:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does the "move to wikiversity" tag still need to be there? I see no content that comes under that description... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.64.120.254 (talk) 20:35, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stinging Nettle Edibility

The article stated: "Stinging nettle -- High nutritional value. Used like spinach." Uhh, no. Stinging nettle cannot be used as spinach because spinach can be eaten raw where as stinging nettle can't, unless you want you throat to swell. It is used only cooked as far as I know. I changed the entry. 174.6.130.25 (talk) 16:57, 20 June 2009 (UTC)BeeCier[reply]

This list needs some work

There are hardly any references here. Ideally, in addition to references for the benefits, there would be a reference for the plant being a weed (could be the same reference as for the benefits). I don't think nasturtiums and wild roses are commonly considered weeds. Some of the benefits are pretty dubious: "Tap root breaks up hardened soil and brings up nutrients from deep down" could apply to any of hundreds of tap rooted weeds, and weeds creating beneficial microclimates is a similarly broad benefit that could be provided by any number of plants.Plantdrew (talk) 20:07, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
