Is this named after Robert Menzies Gnangarra 09:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no I been looking it was after a botanist Gnangarra 10:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess this begs the question how the best way to illustrate an article. My original idea is a pic or two in the story, which then became a gallery and is now shifted off to commons (where the gallery is). I am inclined to have one or two pix on the page. Comments? Cas Liber 02:37, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that a couple of informative pictures in a gallery with detailed descriptions is better than blank image in a commons cat Gnangarra 02:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that guys. When I moved them into a gallery I hadn't anticipated them being removed altogether.

The principle adopted by some (maybe most) Wikipedians (including me) is: does this image illustrate a point in the text? Images that do not are removed. Good captioning can help here. Why is the yellow image there? To illustrate the point that B. menziesii inflorescences come in attractive colour variants? Then the caption should say something like: "Banksia menziesii inflorescenses come in a number of attractive colour variants, as shown by this unusual yellow inflorescense on a tree at Cataby, Western Australia". With a good caption like that, it is almost impossible to justify removing the image.

A better example is in the current Banksia article, where it appears that we have used two images to illustrate response to fire. We really ought to recaption these to explicitly state that one illustrates death of the parent and germination from seed, whereas the other shows resprouting from a lignotubor.

good idea Cas Liber 17:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How exactly is the current layout preferable to this? The same images and information are included. Mgiganteus1 05:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I like images sprinkled through the article and wouldn't have minded the other way, but those in the know tell me that galleries are not good for featured articles. I do appreciate others having a go though. Welcome aboard :) Cas Liber 06:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC) Cheers Cas Liber 06:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mgiganteus1, I have no objection to them being in a gallery, and indeed I put them in a gallery myself about a week ago. Immediately someone removed them altogether on the grounds that a gallery was not needed for an article with a commons link. I think this was not a good outcome so I reverted to the "sprinkled" version. I reverted your edit on the expectation that the images would again be removed altogether if I did not.

• This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 2(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon.
  • Its too short for FA, most species article will be. Gnangarra 01:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.
  • Fixed 2 incidences Gnangarra
    • Will need to apply all articles, before nominations. Gnangarra
• Per WP:MOSNUM, at Units of measurement, numbers with SI units of measure should have conversions in US customary units and vice versa. These conversions should keep to similar values of precision. For example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth". Note that the converted unit of measure uses a standard abbreviation, while the source unit is spelled out in the text.
  • done 2 incidences Gnangarra 01:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Will need to apply all articles, before nominations. Gnangarra
• As is done in WP:FOOTNOTE, for footnotes, the footnote should be located right after the punctuation mark, such that there is no space inbetween. For example, change blah blah [2]. to blah blah.[2]
  • fix incidence on ref 2 Gnangarra
    • Will need to apply all articles, before nominations. Gnangarra

• The opening paragraph should briefly define B. menziesii, say what is interesting or unusually about it, and then very briefly summarise anything of interest in the rest of the article. Who it was named after should be moved to some other section.
• The "Description" section is good except that it includes some ecological notes such as flowering time and response to fire. These should be moved into an "Ecology" section. Ecology section should also include info from genus article (e.g. pollinated by birds primarily, also bees and mammals; vulnerable to dieback) but with a special emphasis on any ecological aspects unique to the species (e.g. it has an unusually low seed set).
• Distribution and habitat section is okay but perhaps a little short. Is there anything else to say?
• Cultivation section is okay, but should mention that it is slow-growing, has an unpredictable form, flowers in 6-10 years from seed, tolerates hard pruning.
• I still think the image placement is unsatisfactory, but i don't know what the solution is.
• I propose removing the "Subgenus", "Section" and "Series" entries from the taxobox, thus reclaiming some room on the right hand side. Instead, introduce a "Taxonomy" section that states what subgenus, section and series it is in. Taxonomy section would be an appropriate place to state after whom it is named (i.e. move this from introduction), when it was discovered, the fact that no species closely resembles it but B. speciosa is probably the closest relative.

I'll come back later to help with this. Snottygobble 04:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There was a paper called "Floret opening in Banksia Menziesii" that florets mainly opened in response to foraging by birds, but not bees, making birds the most important pollinator. Also a paper called "Self-incompatibility, Protandry, Pollen Production and Pollen Longevity in Banksia menziesii" which found that B. menziesii pollen is self-incompatible. i.e. it cannot fertilise itself. I'll read these some time and include the information. Snottygobble 05:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting to note that both B. attenuata and B.menziesii are currently in flower around jandakot A/P especially near the interesction of Roe Hwy and Kwinana Freeway.

• do not know what an "amenities planting" is

it means public parks, nature strips and bits and pieces like that. Appears to be more of an Australian term. Will have a think about an alternative. Essentially what it means is nature strips and public parks, so I figured it was actually just easier to write that. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• "recorded an average of 1043 per flower spike." should clarify "flower spike"

• "Old flowers usually fall off the spikes quickly, with up to 25 large beaked follicles following." Not sure what's being said here… do large beaked follicles also fall off soon after the old flowers, or they grow to replace the flowers that have fallen?

the big woody follicles develop on the spike as and after the flower parts fall off. They don't fall off. Changed "following" to "developing" - does that help? Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:35, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Banksia is inconsistently capitalized in the common names

• what does "firewheel" mean in "Firewheel Banksia"?

I have never seen an explanation of its derivation. I wondered whether it was a misheard "firewood banksia" myself, or how when looked from above an immature inflorescence might look like the spokes of a fiery wheel (anyway, this is all pers. comm. and unable to be cited :)) Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:51, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• "and Sirmuellera menziesii (R.Br.) Kuntze" is now" wasn't sure how to fix the extra/missing quote/italic thing going on here

• "Byron Lamont has observed that" who's this guy (i.e. do we need to know his name?)

I mentioned his name as I have not heard that statement to be generally true, thus I felt it important to highlight the report as his observation rather than globally accepted fact (I can't find a Reliable Source which explicitly says otherwise, but I know the dwarf form as it is widely sold in nurseries) Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:51, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

heavily pruned and added explanation. Could have said "pruned right back" too. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:02, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• refs will need a copyedit before FAC wrt:

• page range format (got the two non-two digit ones) Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:51, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• consistency with capitalization of article titles
• format for author names; eg compare #6 with #13 - names separated by semicolon in one and "and" in the other; sometimes there's spaces between initials (#21) sometimes not (#22); sometimes there's no "." after the initial
• fullstops after citation or not? (#35 vs. #33)
• should probably put all refs into citation templates for consistency (eg. Lamont94)
• current ref #48 (Collins, et al. p. 67.) should probably be listed in a "Cited books" section

• Shouldn't "Menzies banksia" be "Menzies' banksia"?

I'll double check. My impression was that it lacked the apostrophe. It isn't a common alternative name anyway Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:38, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some further sources I found. Of course, including these aren't necessary for GA, but I would ask about them at FAC :) Sasata (talk) 20:58, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• this source says the height can reach up to 15 m

Hmm, not sure about this one. Consensus among offcial figures is 10 m, but there is one source I will double check. I checked the banksia atlas as if there was going to be any extra or different info, it'd come from there, and it had zero B. menziesii over 9.9 m, so I will discount this source.

Looks pretty technical from reading the abstract, but this is one of the articles I can get in the library.

Ok I have the journal in hand. Basically, they were trying to develop a method to test pollen viability (to improve Banksia breeding programs) and used this species as a model. Quotes: "...Banksia pollen, after drying and storage over silica gel, can be stored relatively cheaply in a refrigerator or freezer long enough for breeding requirements. Storage above 0C is not feasible for more than a few weeks." "In vitro germination of B. menziesii pollen was not significantly affected at temperatures from 15 to 20C, perhaps reflecting natural conditions in the field environment during the flowering season." "Floret position on the inflorescence had no significant effect on pollen viability, so pollen can be collected from any part of the inflorescence, as long as the pollen is fresh." There ya go, I'll let you decide what, if anything, to do with that information :) Sasata (talk) 16:57, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I think it is really veering away from material of interest to the general reader. I am thinking of how to make it relevant but it is tricky when I think of how to insert it into the article as is.

One of the blindingly obvious issues is that much of its range is in the Swan Coastal Plain, much of which lies in the way of urban expansion of Perth. It is really sad driving around Perth's northern suburbs seeing swathes of bushland bulldozed and cleared for housing development. I spent a few hours trying to look for a decent reference online and it was surprisingly difficult. I did find a poster but was hoping for some government source. Will ask some folks in the know...

(update) rejigged and have a reference for issues of its range lying within urban development. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, there's a few minor reference formatting details to take care of, and the image File:B menziesii dist map gnangarra.png should probably have more explicit source info (maybe just a link to the website) for FAC. Might also be good to shuffle the pics a bit so the three aren't clumped together at the start and the middle.
