This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Calodendrum
[edit]I have reverted your addition to this article due to copyright concerns. Although we may used words from references when properly cited, using complete sentences is overstepping the line. Please take care to reinterpret the information into your own original prose. Melburnian (talk) 07:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Taxoboxes and taxonomy
[edit]Greetings! I just wanted to let you know that we typically follow the APG systems (e.g. APG III system) for classification. The Cronquist system you've been using for your new articles is quite outdated. I updated a few of your articles, for example diff. And please don't forget to include categories on each article!

Cultivation info
[edit]Hi, Benchamas! I've been going through your contributions cleaning up a few issues. I noticed you recently re-added some content I removed on cultivation info, e.g. diff. I just wanted to drop by and let you know that Wikipedia is not a how-to guide, and so information about how to cultivate these plants is not useful or fitting for encyclopedic coverage. It is a good idea, however, to described the who, what, where, when, and why these plants are cultivated. For a good example on a cultivation section, check out some of our featured plant articles. It's a fine line to walk, though. You can described that, for example, a particular species in cultivation is usually propagated by seed, stem cuttings, etc., but you can't advise readers to do this (e.g., use non-directive language). And, of course, only if you have a reliable source that notes this kind of cultivation information. I hope that clears up why I removed that info from the articles you created. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 15:29, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
