Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

French broom or Brassica?

You changed the identification of a plant in the lead photo of the Glen Canyon Park article. Please leave edit summaries when you make such changes; in this case, I think it would be better if you had suggested the change on the talk page before actually making it. Anyway, why do you think the French broom identification was incorrect? Cheers, Easchiff (talk) 03:06, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - Thanks for the reminder about the edit summary, I know I should do it but forget. I was in this area last weekend to prepare to lead a group of students through the park, and one of the stops on the walk is this same rocky outcrop in the photo (there's only one in the park), which was full of invasive mustard. I wasn't sure if the species was rapa or tournefortii, but I checked Calflora and B. tournefortii only occurs further south. There is Genista monspessulana in other parts of the park, but this hillside is definitely mustard. (Also, if you're just going by the photo, B. rapa has the terminal inflorescence shown, whereas G. monspessulana has inflorescences along the stem on axillary shoots). Thanks again - Jsarratt (talk) 03:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; I'm convinced. Although I often visited the park when I lived nearby, I wasn't certain where that section from the photo was. Where was the photographer located? Easchiff (talk) 03:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
