Talk:Penicillium vanoranjei

Name
The first sentence needs fixing. I looked at the name three times before it suddenly occurred to me that no part of the King's name (as give) actually occurred in the name of the fungus and that the reference was to his title as Prince of Orange.

This degree of confusion caused by the first sentence of the article needs to be addressed. If you are not going to explain in the first sentence that the King was "Prince of Orange" then leave the reference to him to the paragraph further down where the name is fully explained. There are other facts that you could state in the first sentence, rather than this very confusing one. Probably a Dutch person would immediately get the first sentence reference. The rest of the world won't.

If it was said that the fungus was named cambriensii, after Prince William or cornwallii after Prince Charles of Britain, very few people would get it at all. Amandajm (talk) 01:21, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
