Talk:Santalum album

New article
I propose that this article be primarily concerning species description and ecology. New information will probably emerge regarding the origins and distribution of S. album. The prexisting Sandalwood article may be more appropriate for wider discussion of the trade and cultural aspects of the species. I have started the description, but it needs lots of work. Fred 11:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC) Mainly the botanical description needs work, I think. Fred 13:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ecology description needs expanding
 * Categories need checking
 * review facts included
 * Medicinal information
 * Human use and effect on distribtuion.
 * Former habitats (overharvest?)
 * Former habitats (overharvest?)

A couple of questions.
Firstly. Why is this included in Food and Drink. The article doesn't mention anything like that. Second, at one point the article states that "The tree starts to flower after 7 years. " Earlier it has stated that " Fruit is produced after three years, viable seeds after five." Which is it? -- Cimon Avaro&#59; on a pogostick. (talk) 15:52, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

What this section needed
Hello

PFA, in which it asking about the reliable source, can you tell me what type of citation needed. I have to give citation to every sentence or the whole paragraph.

It quite confusing.

Thanks

 * Minimally, each paragraph needs to be cited with a reference that provides all the information in the paragraph. Longer paragraphs likely need more than one ref. David notMD (talk) 12:00, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Zhang
Hello There are several problems with.
 * Mentioning authors is appropriate in cases such as this wherein the secondary source thinks so.
 * This edit creates a MOS:SEAOFBLUE problem in . That is why I did not wl the more common term "gene".
 * I was in the process of creating terpene synthase. That does exist now and should be used. (A separate matter is the question of whether it should stand as it does now or should be made a redirect to Terpene.)
 * I don't understand how WP:NOTJOURNAL is relevant.

 * It's an encyclopedia where common readers would not care who authored a science paper, "not a journal" where mentioning authors is normal. Good that you're creating "terpene synthase". There was no specific wikilink, but the general section on terpene biosynthesis was better, at the time, than a red link. Good luck. Zefr (talk) 20:09, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * NOTJOURNAL says nothing about that. Citing authors in the text is not unusual, for example in Rodent. This is appropriate if a secondary source supports doing so – we should take our cue from secondaries. In this case I cited Zhang and Al-Harrasi together to show that Zhang is worth citing.
