User:Plantdrew


I'm a botanist/organismal biologist. I'm particularly interested in edible plants, and all the complications that arise with regards to both common names and scientific names for those. I fix various errors or unfortunate phrasings on Wikipedia (mostly in plant related articles) when I come across them, and try to contribute to articles related to my hobbies. Internet identities aren't necessarily unique or centralized; I am not the same person as the Twitter user who goes by Plantdrew.

I think my favorite article at present is Urena lobata. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Is it a profound statement about inclusionism/deletionism? Commentary on the (non)-value of stubs? Is it perhaps the most meta article on Wikipedia?

Amusing Polbot fail: Spruceanthus theobromae's natural habitat is plantations . It is threatened by habitat loss.

ceb:Mordellistena pallipes is better developed than Mordellistena pallipes, as it includes the range (an area that is inhabited by many English speakers).
