Talk:Lilium martagon

Underconstruction
I'm translating the article from German. As I'm not particularly good in that language and I don't have that much time, it may take a long. As the souce is really complete, please let me know if you want to edit the article, it may be a useless effort for both you and me (for making a decent edit and to integrate into the 'new' article, respectively). You can follow the progress of the translation in my sandbox, help or advise is obviously very welcome. Aelwyn 18:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If you're working on the article in your sandbox, there's no use for the under construction template. That's to be used in cases when you're making multiple, rapid edits to the page. It's use alerts other editors to the fact that there may be edit conflicts. Plus, if it's taking a long time, you don't want that template on the page for weeks and weeks. This is why I've removed it. Cheers, --Rkitko (talk) 03:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Image of seed pod
As the seed pods are quite distinctive, it might be nice to have an image of them as well. I can offer the following. Shot it myself, and the license should be OK. ( kristian (talk) 20:11, 6 January 2012 (UTC) )


 * There is a photo in commons that isn't as nice, but is easier to add. If you can upload your photo to commons, then we could take it from there. The process for another person to satisfy the copyright checking is beyond my knowledge. Nadiatalent (talk) 13:39, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Name
"The specific epithet martagon is a Turkish word which also means turban or cap."

I am a native Turkish speaker and have not heard a Turkish word like "martagon" or something similar, neither it seems to bear Turkish phonetics. Dictionaries I have checked has no mention of such a word, closest matches having a meaning something like cap/turban were "marafat" and "marama" which are words in local dialects. It will be appreciated if a linguistic expert provides some clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.45.12.68 (talk) 08:58, 20 June 2012 (UTC)


 * I have made some changes to this sentence. There is a reference in OED to martagan, an Ottoman Turkish word referring to a particular cap. However most other authorities seem to regard it as "of uncertain origin". Darorcilmir (talk) 12:16, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
