Talk:List of domesticated plants

Master list
I am wondering if the section from the article on Domestication called “Categories of domesticated organisms” should be moved into a separate master list that would be merged with the “List of domesticated animals,” the “List of domesticated plants” and the list of “Domesticated outsider taxa.” There are so many organisms with complete lifecycles under the care and direction of humans that the list in this article is starting to look like a full taxonomical chart of all living things. It is an interesting and valuable list, but I think that it should all be consolidated into one list that is organized into the three main categories of animals, plants, and outsider taxa. I also think that there should be some standardized way of specifying the degree of domestication for a species or a simple explanation of why it should be included on the list. The article on domestication should contain a clear link to this master list, but I think that the article and the master list should be separate projects. What do others think? --[[User:Jjhake|Jjhake (talk)]] 21:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * I doubt this list can ever be made complete - every plant in your yard could be considered "domesticated", and I think it's safe to say there are 20,000 or more species of plants in cultivation somewhere or another. Stan 05:27, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Leaf vegetables
I see no mention of cabbage and the other common cultivars of Brassica oleracea (except in the excellent image to the left which is incongruously included) nor of water spinach... an entire category of the important food plants seems to have been omitted. Andrewa (talk) 21:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Others
Perhaps a never ending exercise of additions, but I was surprised to not see "dates" and "sesame" seeds. If the list is never-ending, what is the value for a Wikipedia article? SquashEngineer (talk) 16:35, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
