Merge of Pasque flower and Pulsatilla alpina

[edit]

Personally, I would say it would make sense to have one article for Pulsatilla (currently Pasque flower). If so, the Pulsatilla alpina would be a paragraph within that article. See the paragraph starting "Not all species need have separate articles." at Wikipedia:Tree of life (which does not give hard and fast rules, but does indicate what to trade off).

I assume the merge would also include the Pulsatilla vernalis and Pulsatilla vulgaris articles as well? I think, for this genus, which has about 30 species and x subspecies (P. alpina has 7 listed) within each that the article could end up being unwieldy before too long, especially with photographs to depict all the varieties. Also I disclose that I have a belief that Wikipedia should aim to have an article for every species on earth. May just take some time... :)--Melburnian 11:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at it a second time, I agree and now think a merge would be a bad idea. There are some cases where there just isn't (yet) enough information in each species article to separate them out, but this doesn't seem like one of them. Kingdon 18:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Since no one has spoken in favor of the merge, I've removed the merge tags. Kingdon 14:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page states that the pasque flower is commonly known as the prairie crocus and is the provincial flower of Manitoba. I believe that the Prairie Crocus, or Anemone patens, is Manitoba's provincial flower. Are these two flowers one in the same? I am not entirely sure that they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EdmontonRiceBear (talkcontribs) 13:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Expanding "Toxicity" to "Use and toxicity"

[edit]

Here's a reliable source with which I was able to expand the "Toxicity" section to be a "Use and toxicity" section. There are a few more bits of information which can be gleaned from this excellent source. -- Levine2112 discuss 02:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

While the book of 'health foods' mentions pasque as being 'frequently found' in homeopathic preparations, homeopathy is a method to prepare expensive distilled water. Nevard (talk) 05:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC) That's your opinion about pasque. Provide a source which says that or keep your point of view to yourself.

There is no opinion involved. Homeopathy is homeopathy. Nevard (talk) 05:36, 26 December 2008 (UTC)Where is the source that explains this about pasque?[reply]
There are discussions on homeopathy mentions at Talk:Atropa_belladonna#Alternative_medicine and atTalk:Thuja_occidentalis#some_new_sources_on_homeopathic_usage.3F --Enric Naval (talk) 05:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
