Talk:Tricholoma matsutake

Cut-and-paste move
The article (Matsutake) and the redirect Tricholoma matsutake have had their contents exchanged, with the edit summary "Swapped content with Matsutake to follow wikipedia usage of having mushroom content under scientific name" (and likewise for the reverse move). There are three points here: If you disagree with the third point above and decide to exchange the two pages I shall not quarrel with you, but please observe the first two points in doing so.

 * 1) Making this kind of move by cut and paste is not good, because it confuses the edit histories. If this is to be done the correct way is by first having the redirect deleted and then moving the article.
 * 2) If moves of this kind are done then the talk pages should be moved too.
 * 3) Is it desirable anyway? Wikipedia policy is that "Articles are normally titled using the most common English-language name of the person or thing that is the subject of the article". Certainly there are circumstances where there are good reasons for making exceptions, including many mushrooms, but in a case where a mushroom has widespread culinary use and an established common name it is not clear that an exception is justified.
