Edit to improve sort order in category Pinus
I edited this to change the sort order on the page for the Category:Pinus. It had been set to alphabetize under Pine. That might make sense for categories where there are a lot of trees and a few of them are pines; then all the pines group together. But on the page where everything is a pine, it made more sense to alphabetize under Jack. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 15:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

Use of “the” jack pine
I see that this usage goes back for years, but it strikes me as odd. To me it should simply be jack pine—no "the". Any comments? Pinethicket (talk) 15:02, 18 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Probably not technically incorrect when used to refer to the name of a species, but it does look strange.  I've removed the offending "the"-'s. -- BlueCanoe (talk) 23:02, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
