Thanks for the info, and welcome to Wikipedia. Nice to see someone start with an articulate, neutral, referenced edit ;-) Snottygobble 05:45, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Tippitiwitchet,
You recently edited the article for Cotoneaster roseus to show that the plant was first described in 1846, instead of 1851. I'm happy to have it changed but you showed no references. There is, however, a reference clearly viewable on the page for the date of 1851 from a reliable source. For now I am changing it back.
If you have a source, please make sure it is as reliable as the source for 1851 already shown, and make a judgement which is more reliable. If neither ref trumps the other, work it into the article that there are conflicting sources for the year of first description, then include both refs. If your ref is more reliable, then please change the reference that is already there so that the information in the article, and the information in the reference are the same. Otherwise we can make up any year.

Hello, I'm Uamaol. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Sophia St John Whitty, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!
