Unreliable source
[edit]Hello, I removed part of your edit to Crinodendron brasiliense because it cited the Selina Wamucii website. Many editors have noted that while some of its information is accurate it is mixed with information that is total nonsense. For more information see the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants#Depreciating Selina Wamucii as a source. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- I had no idea, thank you for updating that! StarrySkye1205 (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is a bit annoying that they have a website that gets highly ranked on some search engines for plants that are not well known. It is like a stairway with a broken step that will trip the unwary. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 00:59, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- For sure, it is very irresponsible of them. I'm glad I know now, I will avoid using it as a source in the future. StarrySkye1205 (talk) 01:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- Good luck on any editing of plant articles. (No luck good or bad if you edit other things, because I only care about Plantipedia ;) If you ever want advice on finding sources or I and other editors at the plant project are happy to help. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 02:35, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
