Talk:Amaryllidaceae

This article is written in British English with Oxford spelling (colour, realize, organization, analyse; note that -ize is used instead of -ise) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

See Talk:Amaryllidoideae for earlier discussion. Largely deleted due to copywrite violations in the Spanish version on which it was based. Needs completely rewriting! Note Spanish is GA and therefore worth revisiting--Michael Goodyear (talk) 16:14, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It may have been declared GA by that wikiproject, but it has material basically translated from English sources which aren't acceptable here. So "revisiting" has to mean using its material as a source for paraphrasing. Peter coxhead (talk) 02:56, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly - my usual approach! --Michael Goodyear (talk) 21:29, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strategy

After a lot of work on this page, and considerable reflection, I think it will work best as a sunnary page concentrating on the similarities and differences between the three subfamilies with the details mainly left to the subfamily pages --Michael Goodyear (talk) 14:12, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's not clear that this family will survive; specialists seem to be continuing to use Alliaceae and Amaryllidaceae s.s. in recent papers. Peter coxhead (talk) 22:19, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
