Stearn's botanical names (T)

(

)

~~... that the original drafter of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, William T. Stearn, published a guide to plant names?~~

Comment: my second (ever) DYK. Note that the hook is kind of similar to the one for Stearn's botanical names (U–Z) (on the DYK/Approved page under April 5). I'll be happy to try to come up with a fun fact about one of the plants mentioned, if that would be better.

Created by Dank (talk) and Johnboddie (talk). Nominated by Dank (talk) at 03:49, 10 April 2020 (UTC).

@Dank and Johnboddie: Everything looks good. I just have one question. Would you like to somehow combine this with Template:Did you know nominations/Stearn's botanical names (U–Z)? I'm pretty sure running what is substantially the same hook twice is frowned upon, so it may be better to combine these. Pinging Gerda Arendt who approved the other nomination. epicgenius (talk) 18:12, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm happy to do a twofer, but I don't know how. - Dank (push to talk) 18:16, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Dank, just have two bolded links in the same sentence. Like guide to plant names (though this is pretty clunky) or something else. epicgenius (talk) 18:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Gerda, you liked the other hook ... what wording would you use for a twofer? - Dank (push to talk) 18:27, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Okay, Gerda left a msg on my talk page. How about this for a twofer? "... that the original drafter of the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, William T. Stearn, published a guide to plant names?" - Dank (push to talk) 01:24, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Or, if you want something shorter: "... that William T. Stearn published an influential guide to plant names?" - Dank (push to talk) 02:11, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Problem solved, maybe ... a reviewer at WP:FLC has just asked me to combine the two lists! I won't know for sure until other reviewers weigh in, though. - Dank (push to talk) 15:09, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
I've changed the name to ...(T–Z), but I won't change it here yet while I wait for more reviewer comments at the FLC. - Dank (push to talk) 19:27, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Okay, the name has been changed to Stearn's botanical names (T–Z) on all of the relevant WP:FLC pages. We can do whatever you guys like with the DYK nom. - Dank (push to talk) 13:08, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

@Dank: Would you like to merge Stearn's botanical names (T) with Stearn's botanical names (T–Z)? This way, you can have a single nomination (which Gerda already approved), which means this nomination will have to be procedurally failed. For now, I'm putting this on hold. epicgenius (talk) 15:40, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

"On hold" sounds good; we won't know for sure what the reviewers at FLC want until we're done there. - Dank (push to talk) 16:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Epicgenius: I'd like to withdraw this, please. FLC isn't going well. - Dank (push to talk) 18:13, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

@Dank: All right then. epicgenius (talk) 18:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
