Outcrossing and allogamy
Hi, I saw your linking together of the outcrossing and allogamy pages. Those terms are certainly synonyms, but the outcrossing page is almost exclusively about a particular technique. I don't know what page title would be considered appropriate, perhaps it wouldn't change, but rather than merging the pages, I think it would be good to disambiguate that sense of the term. Perhaps it could start with a hatnote that says something like "This page is about a technique used in animal and plant breeding. For naturally occurring outcrossing see allogamy". Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:06, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Good point - actually I also included Self-incompatibility - they all overlap. Another solution would be an overarching page with hats to various subtopics.--Michael Goodyear (talk) 03:03, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * What would you call such a page? (My imagination seems to be at a low ebb today.) Sminthopsis84 (talk) 16:22, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Another good question and one which I anticipated you would ask. as you may have gathered too many people create free standing pages without any thought of where they are positioned in the overall hierarchy of a discipline. In contrast I look for unifying concepts and hierarchical order. So I have gone back to the top, Biology and am working my way down, and have been dismayed by the mess. So potential parent pages might include sexual reproduction and fertilisation. This is where WP falls down compared to a planned work like EB--Michael Goodyear (talk) 03:20, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I couldn't agree more with this view. There are far too many biology articles about individual which can only be understood in the context of the overall  in which the terms are used. I've tried before to get some of them merged, with no success. Part of the problem seems to be that editors dislike linking to a section, so the norm has become "one link, one article", regardless of the duplication of explanation this causes. Peter coxhead (talk) 21:54, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well I will have a go at this particular glitch, but the issue in general should be taken upstairs. Otherwise we have a Tower of Babel--Michael Goodyear (talk) 02:05, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, but that's the point of the comparison with the EB: there is no "upstairs" here, just editors. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:47, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not totally convinced of that, but have no direct experience. Another project to explore. 'Editor' is a misnomer here anyway, which suggests an executive position, users might be better. The first level are the project and task forces, then one can contact administrators, and there are fora for general topics. Anyway this extreme democracy or laissez-faire, promotes anarchy! --Michael Goodyear (talk) 11:09, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

So I've made some changes at Outcrossing, to reduce the overlap with Allogamy. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:39, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

APG IV
Globe-trotting over? I've done some work on updating to the APG IV system, including using "Asphodelaceae" rather than "Xanthorrhoeaceae" (hooray!) as APG IV does, in anticipation of its conservation in 2017. I haven't properly dealt with articles like Asparagales, so do please have a look when you have time. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:07, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * To revise all relevant pages would be Herculean. I think each person should address their own area of experise. I have staerted by revising the APG page, which you started doing. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 12:19, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, not quite as "Herculean" as some of the earlier revisions, but still quite a large task. Unfortunately, there seem very few active plant editors around at present.
 * The APG poster in Cole & Hilger (2016) is nice. I created the cladogram from the APG IV paper; did you check whether the poster is exactly the same? There are some uncertainties noted in the paper.
 * I'm currently working on the list of orders and families, so we don't duplicate work. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:27, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks ok to me and they have been a reliable source to date - but no I did not check every single line! As we get further into this some of these issues can be tackled in more detail. The revisions fall into two general groups - those pages refering to APG to ensure they reference the latest version, and the taxonomic pages affected by recent changes. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 19:33, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Looked at APG, APG IV, Angiosperms, Monocots and now working through monocot orders --Michael Goodyear (talk) 11:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * As you've probably seen, I've added the short and full lists to the APG IV system article in the style of the APG III system one. I need to check them and the cladogram – very easy to make a mistake (indeed there's a typo in line 2 of the abstract of the APG IV paper!). Peter coxhead (talk) 13:32, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I missed that! I did wonder if the cladograms could be simplified. The published literature often breaks them up into sections. Even where there are no changes, eg Dioscoreales it is important to document why. I added the list in Word format to the bibliography as suggested by Byng. --Michael Goodyear (talk) 14:17, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Clarification of wording of Barbara's topic ban
Sandstein has closed the User:Barbara (WVS) ANI discussion with a topic ban worded "is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from medical articles". Following discussion with Sandstein regarding the scope of that topic ban (User_talk:Sandstein), it is felt that further wording is required. Therefore it is proposed that the wording of the topic ban is amended to read:

"By consensus of the community,, also editing as , is topic-banned (WP:TBAN) from health and medical topics, including anatomy and sexuality, broadly construed, and is also banned from interacting with (WP:IBAN)."

Virginia Woolf
I want to thank you for the work you did on Woolf's page. It pained me to see how disorganized it was, but every time I tried something, there were always issue. Is Woolf your only interested? also Vita Sackville-West needs work according to me. --Elisa.rolle (talk) 08:33, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Elisa, I felt the same way. I had brought Virginia's mother, Julia Stephen up to GA, and on Virginia's birthday this year, and found it embarrassing, particularly since German WP had it as a GA. However cleaning it up is an enormous task. And no it is not my only interest! But I am interested in Bloomsbury, as I suspect you are. Interestingly you are the second person who has contacted me about Vita recently, but I fear that is a task for another day! And thank you, for your enormous contribution on women, here.

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 21:31, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Habsburg Empire/Habsburg Monarchy
We have a HUGE problem on the page Habsburg Monarchy. It seems to be a page about Habsburg control of Hungary and Croatia. As far as I know Austria was Habsburg Monarchy since 1282, way before Hungary and Croatia.

But worst of all, Habsburg Empire redirects to that page. So the empire of Charles V and Austria-Hungary do not currently count as Habsburg Empires, when literally all books and encyclopedias define such empires as Habsburg empire.

Telephieae
Hello Thanks for your input on WS and WP regarding Crassulaceae and I somewhat agree with your approach. I am trying to match it with WS, but this taxonomy and classification largely. I have a major query regarding the tribal classification of Sempervivoideae. Telephieae is circumscribed in Caryophyllaceae, by Rabeler & Bittrich 1993. Suprageneric nomenclature in the Caryophyllaceae. PDF, as Telephieae DC., Prodr. 3: 366. (1828) with the type genus Telephium L. (1753). It is therefore unavailable for use in Crassulaceae, as a tribe in Sempervivoideae, as cited by yourself as Telephiae 't Hart, Ohba and Thied ed ined. I have a few ideas where this error may have come from, but can not read Russian and Plants of the World is very odd. I assume it is a clade based upon Sedum telephium Hope you can help. Andyboorman (talk) 20:29, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I’m on the road and don’t have access to usual resources. Finding invalid names is not uncommon and people like James Reveal were expert in tracking them down. Then it comes down to priority. See for instance Ohba’s discussion as to how Hyelotelphium came about. You are right, the tribe was named from the clade which in turn was named from S. telephium. I will look into it further when I’m back. --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  02:31, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * You are correct Reveal (2012) notes that Telephieae is equivalent to Caryophyllaceae -- Andyboorman (talk) 17:48, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I believe it originated with the use by Hart (1995) of Telephiinae as a subtribe, and consequently elevated to the tribe Telephieae by Thiede and Eggli (2007). --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  02:36, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Indeed, it which case Telephieae Thiede & Eggli (2007) is nom. illeg. hom. Also IPNI lodge this tribe as Telephieae Bartl., Beitr. Bot. [Bartling & H. L. Wendland] 2: 157 (1825), with Telephium  L. (1753) noted under Molluginaceae, but this genus has most definitely been transferred to Corrigioleae Caryophyllaceae! However, you should be OK on WP, as you can use the clade name in its place. WS is not happy with clade names when applied below the level of order preferring a strictly Linnean approach. Telephieae Thiede & Eggli (2007) could be available, but it would need an application for nom. cons. before hand.
 * In addition, you use Aeonieae Thiede ined., as opposed to Aeonieae Thiede ex Reveal, Phytoneuron 2012-37: 215. (2012), is this correctable error on WP? Andyboorman (talk) 08:34, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the difference between WS and WP, but citing an authoritative source on WP is not an error, otherwise one veers into OR. At the moment, Kubitzky's The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants is like the bible in systematics, and Thiede and Eggli's treatment of Crassulaceae is the most recent complete treatment of the family (previously it was Berger 1930), and that is what is cited on WP. I have not found a reliable source to date that directly corrects it, but when I get home, I will take a closer look. --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  14:42, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
 * As far as I can find, all subsequent authors have either simply accepted the Thiede & Eggli nomenclature, or ignored any reference to nomenclature, since it is not necessarily a priority for phylogeneticists. For the reasons given above I have not corrected the "errors" but added a note on the issues you raise, including Caryophyllaceae. --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  03:14, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

I have made an attempt to follow Kubitzky on WS. All will be fine until I get to Telephieae and as WS is primarily a taxonomic database we hit a problem with ined. I will edit Sedeae to more or less follow Kubitzky and those that have followed. I will omit the clades, but add a note explaining they are being worked on - it looks like the outcome could be an eventual single Sedum s.l. for this tribe. I will use his definition of Umbiliceae Meisn. and get rid of Umbilicinae and Sedinae as subtribes on WS. To be consistent Telephieae ('t Hart) Ohba and Thiede ined. will then have to be added as a tribe with a note that taxonomically this definition is provisional only. That is the best I can do and hope fellow WS editors are not too annoyed. Seem OK with you? Andyboorman (talk) 08:48, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I have decided to omit Telephieae ('t Hart) Ohba and Thiede ined. for now and incorporate the genera in Umbiliceae Meisn. (Reveal, 2012). Do have a look WS Crassulaceae and comment here and/or on WS Pump. I will leave it for now. Andyboorman (talk) 14:03, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Opinions are sharply divided on the status of Sedum. There is not really enough evidence to support either s.s. or s.l.. However the genus is being progressively reduced. At present species outside of Sedeae are being reallocated, but within Sedeae it is still an artificial paraphyletic genus. --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  15:02, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Fern classification
The Schuettpelz et al. (2018) Taxon article and the subsequent reply by Christenhusz & Chase (2018)  make entertaining reading for those enjoying academic spats, but leave us with a problem here. Instinctively, I would prefer to follow Christenhusz & Chase's "lumped" system for article titles and taxoboxes, since it causes least changes to article titles based on early systems of classification. However, the only taxonomic database that has a fully consistent system down to the level of species, which is necessary here to make the species names and articles consistent, is the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World which uses PPG I. Plants of the World Online currently doesn't use any consistent system, and as of 22 November 2019, has errors like listing Sphenomeris as an accepted genus but then placing all its species in Odontosoria. It's definitely the case that fern classification is a total mess! I regret starting on trying to sort out our articles, because I just keep finding more problems. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:13, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I've attempted to summarize the argument over the number of fern genera at Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group. There's a lot more that could be said, but this may be enough for now given that these are primary sources. Feel free to add/edit, as always. It will be interesting to see which way PoWO goes. Peter coxhead (talk) 12:14, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 * This is part of a larger issue that effects classification. The phylogeny may be clear but translating it into taxonomic revision is more philosophical. Actually it is less of a mess than when we had to learn Cronquist and Thorne and Dahlgren etc etc! Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉  13:37, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

It does seem important to refer to both the PPG I and the Christenhusz & Chase systems in articles. If it's of any use to you, I've drawn up a comparison table for my own use at User:Peter coxhead/Work/PPG. The √ marks in the end column show the (few) articles I've checked/changed so far. Thyrsopteris is an example of the minimum I think is needed in a stub article. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:01, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Coronariae
Hi Michael, I'm Dan. I'm quite impressed by your list of botanical GAs. Your Coronariae is up at GAN, and I'll be happy to review it, if we can find another reviewer to spotcheck the Latin sources (I can spotcheck the German ones), and if you're amenable to adding some text to the article. Some reviewers would look at this article and say that it's too list-y for GAN ... I don't agree, I think the most impressive thing about the article is the sourcing, and a GA is perfectly acceptable scaffolding for that sourcing. OTOH, there's not a lot of text below the lead that isn't list-y. It's not a fatal flaw, but it's a concern, for me anyway. There are several options for what to add ... what do you think of adding some images and text descriptions that will help the general reader get up to speed on what species we're talking about here? I think most readers will need some help understanding what Liliales covers. - Dank (push to talk) 23:16, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Books to buy
Hi Michael, I'm looking for recommendations on books to buy as sources for stub- and start-class articles. I see you've been citing The Flowering Plants Handbook (Byng) and Plants of the World (Christenhusz et al.) in some of your genus articles. Can you recommend those (with the caveat that the first one is pre-APG IV)? What do you think of the latest two volumes (14 and 15) of The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants (Kubitzki)? - Dank (push to talk) 17:59, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, there wasn’t a huge difference between APG III and IV, and if it affects the article it can be referenced. Kubitzki is probably the most comprehensive taxonomic text but now much older, although each volume is from a different date. —-Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  11:14, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks ... volumes 14 and 15 ordered (and vol 7, so that I have more or less complete coverage of the lamiids). I'll try to snag any of the books on superasterids as soon as the prices come down. - Dank (push to talk) 16:42, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

It is not necessarily a good and up to date taxonomic source (scholarly articles are) but one of the most comprehensive sources in almost every other aspect of taxa. Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  13:29, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Featured article plans?
Michael, you are certainly an exceptionally prolific and admirable editor. I wonder if you have ever considered putting an article through the WP:FAC process? I recently did so with Portrait of a Musician, and found a plethora of feedback, resulting in the gold star – which felt like an almost "seal of approval" – and eligibility for the article to be featured on the main page. WP:PR has recently become more active so I'm sure you could find much ideas for FAC preparation there, especially if you put it in the Template:FA sidebar. Just some ideas and (hopefully) words of encouragement. Regards, Aza24 (talk) 03:56, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Validity of A. piscivorus piscivorus photo
The validity of the species identification for File:Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus dark.JPG has been questioned. Please see the comments in the edit history of Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus and in the edit history of. It is suggested that the photo is actually a specimen of Nerodia erythrogaster (or at least some Nerodia – perhaps Nerodia fasciata or Nerodia sipedon). Those species are frequently confused. See, for example, File:Watersnake.jpg. The head of the snake is unfortunately obscured in your photo. The identification of the snake would be easier if the head was more visible. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:30, 10 July 2021 (UTC)


 * My identification was based on the illustrated guide provided by the Forest staff and by a staff member. As you can see, the Forest fauna includes species of both Nerodia and Agkistrodon. As far as the head goes, I wasn’t inclined to get any closer! Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  14:24, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Gentian flower ?
Hi Mr. Goodyear, i need some help to find specimen of this flower. So far Google said it is Gentian. Diameter of flower in focus is around 8-9 mm (milimeters), that is fully grown. It is almost all blue, just leafs at corner got some part of red-violet. But that middle is nice white middle-which i can find of Google Gentians. regards, --Petar Milošević (talk) 20:04, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It appears that you uploaded this to Wikipedia Commons, without any other information. You really should not do that unless you are sure of your information. I am not sure what you mean by Gentian? Gentian is a herbal remedy derived from the roots of plants of the genus Gentiana. This is a very large genus, with hundreds of species, so even if it is a species of Gentiana, that is not very helpful. Many of the species have blue flowers, it is true, but not all. One cannot simply identify a plant from a view of its flowers. One needs far more information, including where and when it it was found. One needs all the plant parts. However your picture suggests a pentamerous flower, so it could be a member of this genus.


 * Take a look at the information on Gentiana in Plants of the World Online. --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  22:55, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

It is under, till i find specimen. After i change name. Found in Ljubljana, Europe in June. Gentiana is "google choice" but i dont seem that middle (white) is similar to them. Will try whith that links. Thanx. --Petar Milošević (talk) 11:03, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you can see that uploading an unidentified photo is not really helping Wikipedia. Do you have other photos of this plant? You need to add as much information as you can - where was it found, what sort of habitat, date you saw it etc. I think you are referring to the style when you say "that middle (white)". In Gentiana, the stigma is usually two lobed as in this specimen of Gentiana acaulis, while yours appears to have 5.  With so many species, you would need a genus key to accurately identify a single specimen. --Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉  02:41, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

We found it, probably is Anchusa. Anchusa officinalis maybe ? --Petar Milošević (talk) 18:42, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Dictionary of Botanical Epithets
Michael, I'd love to have one or two more etymological sources for species epithets that I can pull from. One of the most popular among plant editors (with 40 hits) is Chuck Griffith's Dictionary of Botanical Epithets. But I'm not sure if I could get it through WP:GAN or WP:FLC ... do you know if that, or anything Griffith has written, has ever been vetted by any publisher? If not, do you have any recommendations? - Dank (push to talk) 04:56, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a very interesting question. I'm not sure that there is anything wrong with this source, but I agree it would not be considered an authoritative source. At first I thought he meant he got the information from the NARGS - but having perused their site, I think he meant lists of the terms, not their meanings. In that case his work is substandard without proper citations.
 * There are many reliable sources. The Gold Standard is Stearn's Botanical Latin : history, grammar, syntax, terminology and vocabulary.
 * Have a look at my list at User:Michael_Goodyear/Botany_resources - and yes as you will see I have used Griffith for convenience --Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉  17:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Botanical Latin is perfect, just what I needed. Thanks. - Dank (push to talk) 19:52, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If you know ... who would I contact to get a file with all of POWO's 350k accepted species (just the scientific names)? I'd want it sorted on species epithet, ideally, but I can do the sorting and filtering myself if I can get the list. It will be much less tedious if I can compare that list with my sources, rather than typing each species epithet into POWO to see if I can get a hit. - Dank (push to talk) 15:05, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I’m not aware of anything like that, but I will look into it. What are you hoping to do with such a list? Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉  12:17, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks kindly. I'm open to suggestions, but the plan is for the new list series to be nothing more than a reasonable expansion of List of descriptive plant species epithets (A–H) and I–Z. In the previous lists, I've covered all the seed plant families listed at POWO and all the genera that had etymologies listed in my sources; now it's time to do something more with species, I think. I agree 100% that pulling more from Botanical Latin is a reasonable next step; so far, it looks like this may approximately double the total number of rows of species epithets. I'm also looking for pages in the new series to have fewer entries per page than the other lists (I'm having trouble attracting reviewers), which is probably necessary anyway since I want to pull more images from Commons. Thoughts? - Dank (push to talk) 13:44, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, to answer your question, the plan is to use a list of species epithets from POWO in the same way I've used POWO in the other lists: I'd eliminate any epithet from the first column in my tables that's not currently accepted at POWO. - Dank (push to talk) 13:59, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Hippeastreae
Hi, in 2016 you developed the articles Hippeastreae and Hippeastrinae. They've become rather out-of-date since then; according to APweb, only 6 genera remain in Hippeastreae (see Hippeastreae), although two more are retained by PoWO – somewhat oddly perhaps, since Sprekelia is given only one species Sprekelia formosissima, and Rhodolirium only two. I've done a bit of work on the article, but it needs more to make it clear that much of the taxonomy is now historical. So if you have any time, you might like to look at it. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:06, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Nature of the beast I'm afraid - continual recircumscription. I recall you persuading me to take Hippeastrum to GA - thanks! I ended up looking at Amaryllidoideae as a whole, which was horribly out of date, and here we are again! I have not looked at it since - there are so many other problem pages - most recently tackled Crocus which was also woeful, and still needs a lot of work. Alan Meerow and his colleagues have continued to be been very active in this area. I'm adding some recent phylogeny articles. Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉  21:42, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * A close read of Garcia et al 2019, reveals that a large number of changes need to be made to many WP pages. Generally I think our policy has been to deal with only one level of subdivision in taxonomy where daughter pages exist for those subdivisions. Therefore discussion of genera is best left to the subtribe pages. I think the best solution is what you have done and treat the genera as a historical note, and the problem devolves to the subtribes. Therefore I removed the tag from Hippeastrae after updating it.--Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  03:04, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Tribe and subtribes, and some genera (Traubiinae) have now been brought up to date (at least taxonomically) as per Garcia et al 2019, as revised 2020. I have stuck with their classification, since it is data based, presumably APWeb and PoWO will catch up! I will get around to the specific genera of Hippeastrinae later. --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  20:24, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Genus pages all updated - but that leaves the tricky question as to what to do with the legacy pages of extinguished genera - for now i have just out them in past tense, with an internal redirection to new placement. QEF --Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  20:46, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's always difficult to know what to do with legacy genera. My general approach (but probably not followed consistently) has been to convert stubs or near stubs to redirects and put longer articles into past tense. Anyway, definitely an improvement – thanks for your work as always! Peter coxhead (talk) 10:15, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Here's a heads-up on this work-in-progress on the alismatid monocots, in case you want to set me on the right path! As is often the case with lists, the idea is to condense and illustrate the material, to make it less overwhelming for, say, younger readers. I've been relying heavily on Plants of the World so far, and comparing that with our existing articles on monocot families. Any thoughts would be appreciated. - Dank (push to talk) 12:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this - once I figured out where you had put it, I linked the Alismatid monocots page to it. Michael Goodyear ✐ ✉  22:16, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry about that. I'll take that as a vote of confidence (either in me or in the process that will whip it into shape). - Dank (push to talk) 22:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

TFA re-run for William T. Stearn
Hi Michael. William T. Stearn has been at WP:Today's featured article before, but all FAs are eligible to run twice (after 5 years or more), and I'd like to get this up at TFA again, this time on April 16, if that's okay with you. The article appears to be in good shape, as always. - Dank (push to talk) 00:34, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Btw, one of the sentences got separated from its citation at some point. It's the sentence "The second task imposed on him at this time involved the RHS role in maintaining revision of the Code of Botanical Nomenclature (see Botanical taxonomy).", which appears in a different spot in this version. - Dank (push to talk) 00:45, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
