Very Significant Error as written, 20120203
[edit]The article as posted contains the sentence: "It is worth noting that the Gregor Mendel work on the genetics of peas was first published in 1902." That statement is false. The work by Mendel was first published in 1866 "as 'Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden' (Experiments on Plant Hybridization) in the Verhandlungen des Naturforschenden Vereins zu Brünn (Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Brünn), following two lectures he gave on the work in early 1865." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_genetics#Mendel). Although ignored for over three decades, attention was called to it around 1900.
Whatever the author of this sentence was trying to say, he either didn't say it, or he is in error. The section it appears in should be corrected.Saintonge235 (talk) 22:14, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- This page is very poor generally. The lead claims that "the first scientist to show that the common grain crops and many other plants are self-fertilizing", but further down it is claimed that he discovered the converse, that many are out-crossers. The Warrington Examiner articles cited are cited in such a way that I wonder if they are either themselves poor references or have been misquoted. For an article about a scientific subject, some scientific citations are needed, but this is written just as an advertisement for the company. If all the poor material were removed, there'd be nothing much left. Perhaps the page should be deleted. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 17:29, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- I've deleted the dubious and unsourced claim about Mendel's work. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 17:35, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
