User talk:Cherian Nair

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Cherian Nair! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! 'Kanonkas' : Talk  17:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sesame
I added "Nair" because that was the person who first described the species; that person's name is often appended to the scientific name. In that case (if I remember the source correctly -- I made that edit over a year ago), that was how the scientific name appeared in the work I cited, & since I had no reason to do otherwise I simply followed the lead of that book. If I violated Wikipedia's Manual of Style in this case (or simply common sense), you are welcome to fix it. -- llywrch (talk) 17:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
