Talk:Banksia prionotes

Archived
Archived horribly long talk page in anticipate of a whole lot more comments at FAC.

Issues to carry over from archive:
 * we need a seed pic ✅
 * I shot the seed separator too, but there was no need to jam it in here. Instead I made a Commons gallery. Check it out: Banksia prionotes. Hesperian 14:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice work - the seed is much more interesting than the "matte blackish seeds" in the text though, is there any further detail in the cited texts? Melburnian (talk) 14:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * add info on (individual) flower morphology
 * add info on foliar arrangement (scattered, opposite, whorled?) ✅
 * I'm not sure if "stilted language in taxonomic history section" has been fully addressed; I'll have a look tonight. tomorrow night.

doesn't support alt text
I had a go at putting the gallery images into a table so that alt text can be supported, but it looks like shit so I didn't save it. I'm dropping it here, in case other people think the requirement for alt-text trumps aesthetics for the sighted. Hesperian 01:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also the text overlaps (as viewed on my screen) making it partially unreadable. I wonder why "gallery" doesn't support alt text ... is it difficult to implement? Melburnian (talk) 03:22, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "padding-left:1em;". Fixed now?
 * Still cut off, for instance the second caption reads:
 * "Furrowed bar
 * on the trunk c
 * an older tree"
 * I'll check on my home computer later tonight for comparison. Melburnian (talk) 04:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, same problem. Melburnian (talk) 13:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the gallery syntax was formulated before the need for alt= was recognised. And it has never been updated. It is part of a broader problem: it doesn't accept any named parameters. This makes it impossible to display a DjVu page in a gallery. Hesperian 03:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Think it's worth me bringing it up at Village Pump (Technical)? Melburnian (talk) 04:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems it's already been reported. Melburnian (talk) 05:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Bravo!
What a great article. Congratulations to all who were involved. 86.133.55.150 (talk) 08:19, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Nyungar vocabulary
I was just about to update the dead link in the "Taxonomy" section to the Nyungar wordlist, which now appears to be at http://www.wheatbeltnrm.org.au/resources/nyungar-dictionary.pdf, however, I couldn't find Bwongka listed there. DrKiernan (talk) 18:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * It's on page 16 - there are two segments containing banksias and it is in the second....Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Too many pictures
Currently, I think this article has too many images, or just too many images grouped together, as it's affecting the article formatting somewhat. --UltimateKuriboh (talk) 16:46, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
