Solanum articles and external links

Hi, thanks for your contributions on Solanum articles. I noticed that you added links to the Solanaceae source website on most of the articles you edited. This is no problem, but the sentence "Identification keys coming soon!" in the link descriptions smacks a bit of advertising. The exclamation point is not needed, and the presence of identification keys can be mentioned if and when they are added to the site.

Also, when you create new articles, there should be more to the article than just an external links section. There should at least be a sentence explaining context and giving common names if applicable. Example:"Solanum bulbocastanum (ornamental nightshade) is a plant in the Solanaceae family.") Plant articles should have a taxobox; for the Solanum ones you can paste in

{{Taxobox | color = lightgreen | name = | image = | image_width = 250px | image_caption = | regnum = [[Plant]]ae | divisio = [[flowering plants|Tracheobionta]] | classis = [[dicotyledon|Magnoliopsida]] | subclassis = [[Asteridae]] | ordo = [[Solanales]] | familia = [[Solanaceae]] | genus = ''[[Solanum]]'' | species = '''''S. bulbocastanum''''' | binomial = ''Solanum bulbocastanum'' | binomial_authority = }}

and change the species name, as I did at Solanum bulbocastanum (click edit on this page to see it formatted nicer). If you're doing this with other plants, you can copy the taxobox code from other articles on plants in the same genus.--Eloil 14:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC) To give you some time, I changed the tag to "underconstruction"-- but it is expected that you work on it with in next day or so and then remove the tag. there are people going around deleting stubs, which is probably not a good idea, but it's necessary to cope with them anyway.DGG 18:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Solanum arcanum
