Comments[edit]

  • Avoid saying things like "in the current century" as in the lead. Use specific dates, range of years, century, etc.

 Done date inserted --Michael Goodyear (talk) 13:13, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • What exactly does "escape" refer to in the lead?

 Done the same as in the text, escape from cultivation and subsequent naturalisation, a technical term in the evolution of speciation. Clarified. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 13:18, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Who accepted 160 species? All these other figures talked about with their authors, but not this one.

 Done Adrian Haworth. Attributed now --Michael Goodyear (talk) 15:07, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


This looks good overall. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 02:22, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicated "Names and etymology" sections[edit]

Both the Narcissus (plant) and Taxonomy of Narcissus articles have a "Names and etymology" section (here and here respectively). Any chance these could be combined to avoid duplication? Please discuss at Talk:Narcissus (plant) if you care. —  AjaxSmack  15:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
