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 European Black. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 12:53, 13 April 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

Rationale for capitalisation?
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28fauna%29#Capitalisation_of_common_names_of_species, where we read, "In general, common (vernacular) names of flora and fauna should be written in sentence case — for example, "oak" or "lion". This means names are written in lower case except for proper nouns or words that start a sentence." shouldn't it be written "European black pine", i.e. uncapitalised? I am having real trouble finding the proper conventions, never mind establishing whether they have been adhered to or if not, as in this case, what the rationale is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.2.186.231 (talk) 11:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Larch = black pine? Whaaat
I wonder why, in the first paragraph, the article refers to one particular black pine at 1000 years old as "the oldest larch in the world"? 24.21.72.41 (talk) 21:37, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
