The "BLHDA"
I accept the BLHDA can't have it's own page but why can't it even be given a mention in a relevant article Dean randall 16:46, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Because it a non-notable thing you made up in school. You have been repeatedly warned about the creation and recreation of the article for your game of pretend in Wikipedia. This is now extended to references to it in other articles and cross-namespace links about it. Any more of them and you will be blocked from editing. Thanks. ➨  ЯEDVERS  10:27, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

80series93 do you like landscaping

Non-Ugly PIC
Saw no image on the page, and then the comment in discussion about ugly pic. The one I posted was one I could spare to the public domain - hopefully its more to your liking. Agreed, the one with the chainlink didn't seem to tie-in with landscaping. It would be nice to add more images, but I can't spare too many from my collection to give to public domain. Maybe one of a water feature - I'll take a look in the files. Does anyone have images to spare of a few other styles like Japanese, Italian or a Cactus garden? M. D.

Propose External Link / Links
I'm putting in here for discussion, adding external links related to the landscaping profession such as Landscape Architect associations, or APLD (Association or Professional Landscape Designers). I'll hold-off on adding the links. If no one responds, I'll add them later this week. They are related, and the addition can always be modified.Mdvaden 00:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * How about instead of an just external link block, that will just be a magnet for advertisers, you put in some text that explains the APLD - which will add to the article, then the link can be a reference to that sentence.
 * It could be either way, or both. Sometimes a link is better. For example, in the "arborist" article, its detrimental to the article length and purpose, to have paragraphs explaining pruning, or photosythensis in association to why trees should not be topped. External Links are not neccessarily a magnet, because anybody, even an advertiser, can drop-in on an article and add their link just as easily. The lack of external links, may be more of a magnet to invite excess paragraphs, that it would be a magnet for advertising links. I suppose you have noticed the external link use in other articles already, since many have them.Mdvaden 00:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * At most, I think that single sentence about APLD within the article, but prefer an external link. APLD would be an easier "stuffer" into the Landscape Design article. The difficulty with using sentences and paragraphs for those, is that as the article develops in time, a dozen very useful outside associations or certification resources, can add 12 sentences or 12 paragraphs, rather than a short list of 12 links. Anyway, those are a few more thoughts on this.Mdvaden 00:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If it were to go in the article, what 2 or 3 points of the article do you think that the most "surgical" insertion could be made as to slip it in?Mdvaden 00:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

including, but not limited to
"Including, but not limited to" is lawyer-speak and is unnecessary since "including" implies additional items already. --Unimath (talk) 16:04, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Removed the material on philosophy
I removed the two paragraphs on philosophy from the beginning of the article. These contained no references, and the material on Greek philosophy (Thales and his "students") was obviously false. The little the surviving information from the ancient world about Thales is collected in a number of books on the pre-Socratic philosophers, none of them discuss landscaping. (The most complete recent English collection is Graham's The Tests of Early Greek Philosophy.)

I am not certain that the paragraph on later philosophy is also false, but it there are no references and it is at so high a level of generality as not to be helpful, so I thought it best to remove it as well. GSalmieri (talk) 17:12, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Landscaping. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
 * Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.sunset.com/garden/landscaping-design/landscaping-with-gravel-00400000011687/page2.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).
