Welcome
Hi Lokmukluk, Welcome to Wikipedia. I have reverted your edits to Quercus garryana and felt I should explain why. When the subject of an article has two different common names with similar popularity, as is the case with Garry oak and Oregon (white) oak, the general rule is to keep whichever name was used first, to avoid repeated switching back and forth by editors with conflicting name preferences. Please don't take this personally; all editors on Wikipedia get reverted sometimes. I hope that you do continue to contribute, and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! Tdslk (talk) 19:06, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

That is perfectly understandable, but ask why you took out the traditional name also? That is a common regional name from the indigenous people who actually named the tree first, and that is still in use. Maybe not being from the traditional area of this tree you did not know, but ask that you research or ask questions before erasing Indigenous history. Thank you!

 * I had missed that. My apologies, and thank you for adding it back in. Tdslk (talk) 21:20, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
