Prunus elaeagrifolia

I'm interested in the note [a] that you put at Prunus elaeagrifolia. Was it based on a source? The epithet elaeagnifolia would more obviously be based on Elaeagnus + i + folia, meaning 'with leaves like Elaeagnus'. The etymology of Eleagnus varies a bit by source; I'm currently constructing something for the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 08:08, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

@Peter coxhead: There was a source online, and it might even be one of the ones in the article, but since so much time has passed I can't be sure what the source was. If you can't find it let me know. Abductive (reasoning) 08:18, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I've looked at the sources in the article that I can find online, and searched in Google Scholar for "elaeagrifolia elaeagnifolia", and all I've found, so far anyway, is sources using elaeagnifolia with elaeagrifolia as a synonym/typographic variant. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:12, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm looking for it. Abductive (reasoning) 09:32, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. IPNI is muddled, I've found. It agrees that the correction to "elaeagnifolia" is wrong for Pyrus elaeagrifolia, but not for Prunus elaeagnifolia which it says has the basionym Amygdalus "elaeagnifolia" although Amygdalus ealeagrifolia notes that the "n" is incorrect (albeit with currently a typo). I've pointed out to them the inconsistencies. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I think that was it, I seem to recall that phrase "The correction is unwarranted". Abductive (reasoning) 09:39, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

It's the sentence He seems to have meant elaeagrifolia, "wild olive-leaved"; from elaea, "olive tree"; agrios, "wild". which isn't sourced that I'd like to either source or remove. IPNI doesn't say what the original derivation was, and none of my books on plant names do either. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:18, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

@Peter coxhead: Ah, well, I read it at the time, I think in a resource on HathiTrust, but I can't find it now. So go ahead and change it, I'm always happy when someone works on my stubs. Abductive (reasoning) 10:58, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I'll look for a bit longer, because I think the explanation is right, and important in the article as it supports the use of this spelling. I'd like to move it to the main text, but then it definitely should be sourced. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:26, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Maybe I'll look some more too. Abductive (reasoning) 06:30, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

@Peter coxhead: I found this scrap of text floating around, according to W. Greuter (pers. comm. via e-mail on 29 Apr 2011), this name was likely intentionally based on the Greek "elaeagros" meaning wild olive tree, not "elaeagnos", and thus the original spelling is not a correctible orthographic error which dates to 09-Mar-2017, before I created the article. Abductive (reasoning) 10:37, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Excellent! There can hardly be anyone more expert on the ICNafp than Walter Greuter. Thanks. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Glad to be of assistance. Abductive (reasoning) 10:43, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Shiba inu coin

Looking through the edit history you seem very intent on claiming shib to he a pump and dump and adding fraud to the line. This is completely untrue and unfounded accusations. I highly suggest you do a little more research into these kind if things before editing, shib is infact a defi ecosystem with upcoming layer 2 solutions, working exchange (dex) , nft gaming, staking systems and is supported by a massive community of almost 1million holders. If you would like help locating valid sources fir this information let me know, for now I'll leave it to you to do the right thing. 49.195.146.38 (talk) 21:10, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
