Extraordinary

This article doesn't yet really explain what is extraordinary about this discovery. The drama of the discovery is worth mentioning too. I'm so dull, I can't even remember what the -cephaly term for "cabbage-headedness" in plants is, which ought to be linked. Wetman 02:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is extraordinary (or important, at least) is that this is the oldest known tree. Right? As for drama, I'm not sure what you propose, but wikipedia, as I understand it, doesn't aim to be dramatic in the way that many popular science articles/films/etc are. Certainly not to the point where the drama overshadows what was actually discovered. Kingdon 19:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article doesn't yet really explain what is extraordinary about this discovery. The drama of the discovery is worth mentioning too. Who could take exception to that? --Wetman 04:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What reliable published sources would you cite for the 'drama'? -- Donald Albury 11:34, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
