Epithet corrections – a bit more
Hi, I noticed that you wrote that the ae forms were "archaic". I don't think this is quite the right word. Earlier botanists formed epithets by using the genitive of the name of a different plant + a noun for the part of the plant. Thus oleaefolium = "of-Olea leaf" = "leaf of Olea". The alternative was to join the two nouns by a "compounding letter", either -i- or -o-, thus oleifolium = "Olea-leaf". The botanical community decided to standardize on the latter, because (as far as I know) this was more classical, and in that sense more archaic. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying, and thanks for the further explanation. Changing the statement to make it correct and keeping it simple however is too difficult for me. Perhaps you can give it a go. Thanks, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Fractions, units
Hello! Thanks for creating Felicia fruticosa. I wanted to point you to I made to it, as well as  and. It's generally against Wikipedia style guidelines to display fractions using special characters such as ½. If a number needs to be displayed as a fraction, the notation is preferred—so  to produce $1/2$. This makes Wikipedia more accessible for users using screen readers, as well as those with certain sight disabilities. Additionally, rather than manually converting units, the use of is generally preferred, as it is a more versatile template, and will keep units at the same level of precision. The documentation over at showcases the many uses for the template. Let me know if you have any questions! cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 17:53, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes. Thank you for teaching me new technicalities on fractions. I am using fractions on purpose though. This has to do with the fact that often a digit suggest too much precision, you know, 6.5 actually means anything between 6.45 and 6.55 while 6½ means anything between 6.25 and 6.75. Also, in the automated conversions, additional digits are created, suggesting false precision and that is the reason why I prefer manual conversions. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Try 17 cm, which produces 17 cm —Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 21:24, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Κέφαλος
Beste Dwergenpaartje, you have added the following etymological information to Cephalopyge trematoides: "(Greek: Κέφαλος Kephalos, "head")". But Κέφαλος is actual the name of a Greek mythological figure, whereas written with a lower-case kappa, it is the name of a species of mullet. In ancient Greek κεφαλή is actually the word for head. Is your source mistaken or did you misinterpreted the source? With kind regards, Wimpus (talk) 11:52, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 15:49, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Beste Dwergenpaartje, please take a look at this, where you state, without providing a source, that cephalon would the Latin word for head. Could you correct this by providing a reliable source. Wimpus (talk) 20:20, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have deleted the statement. If you come across any previous mistakes please correct or delete these yourselves. You can't expect me to correct articles I created more than five years ago. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 21:11, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

September 2019: Leucospermum hypophyllocarpodendron
I am having difficulty understanding a term introduced by you to the above article in March of 2018 in this edit. The term, with which I am unfamiliar, is "cringy", which appears several times in the article to describe fine hairs appearing on the new leaves. It apparently is an adjective. Would you be able to clarify for me and other readers what the meaning of that term, as you have used it in the article, might be? Thank you.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:35, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing out this is an odd word. "Cringing" is basically synonymous with "recoiling", but cringy is usually applied to an unconfortable feeling. I think I overreached in trying to avoid close paraphrasing. I have replaced the word with "crisped". I hope that clarifies it. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 09:13, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
