Hello, I added some external links on the 11.08.04 for the genus Abies. However, abies has a redirection to 'fir' and so I added them there. This is only my first time Wiking and I do not know how to change the Abies redirection so that I can add my external links to the Abies topic and not the Firs topic. If you could guide me to some instructions I would be happy to try. Mikcohen 09:03, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

You'd better keep them here, since Abies is the same as "fir" and putting external links on the Abies page would mess up the redirect. SCHZMO 20:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia

Just read on the new of a Fir tree growing inside a man's lung: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090415/tod-fir-tree-found-growing-inside-man-s-870a197.html

How would you add this to the article? 129.31.41.36 (talk) 15:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Generally we try not to include WP:trivia. Rich Farmbrough, 16:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Number of species

We have 48 and a sub-sp. I have changed the article to reflect. If I am wrong, of course, revert - but please also drop me a note. Rich Farmbrough, 16:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I just made a little change in the species list regarding A. lasiocarpa and bifolia to make it consistent with the systematics used in the Abies lasiocarpa article. 83.108.38.14 (talk) 09:40, 6 November 2010 (UTC) Ingvar Åberge, Norway[reply]
