Genera named for people

• In two cases, I got the sense that we needed a slight variation in the spelling, but I wasn't comfortable citing any one source:
  • José Antonio Picanço Diniz: pt:Lista de organismos com nomes de entidades brasileiras
  • Pierre-Etienne Dossin: fr:Rue Dossin
• There's some disagreement over the dates for Anne-Marie Homolle. - Dank (push to talk) 21:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
• There's one "wife of"; if anyone can find out anything about Thulin, that would be great. - Dank (push to talk) 21:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
• I have no preference on BC vs. BCE ... but other Wikipedians do, and they may think that the context calls for one or the other. Check the guideline, and ask around. - Dank (push to talk) 22:18, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
• You can search for the edit summary "saving my work" to see various setpoints in the article's development. - Dank (push to talk) 04:13, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
• For links to people who have bio pages here in the English Wikipedia, I tend to use the name and the spelling as it appears in the link, not in the listed source. - Dank (push to talk) 00:13, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Now 967 rows. - Dank (push to talk) 15:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Site links

In this edit, I removed (for each name that was redlinked) a link to the last section of the Wikidata page for that person. This section of Wikidata gives you links to relevant pages on other-language-versions of Wikipedia and on Wikispecies, Wikisource and Commons. There's a lot of information on some of these people that could be very useful for editors who want to create articles and lists here on the English Wikipedia. - Dank (push to talk) 15:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Re:Davilla

According to George Don in 1831, it was named after Henry Catherine Davilla an Italian historian who died in 1599. Although there is an Italian historian called Enrico Caterino Davila (1576 – 1631) on wiki !!! Normally I would take Lotte's book but this is an older source?? Am trying to write the Davilla genus article, so am going to put both options in the taxonomy section. DavidAnstiss (talk) 22:06, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your work updating the links, much appreciated. I'll give you all the info I have. The only Wikipedia that has an article on Pedro Franco Dávila is the Spanish one: es:Pedro Franco Dávila. Burkhardt's citation is to Vand. (that's Domenico Vandelli), 1788. Commons has copies of some of his material. Davilla isn't in Quattrocchi or Gledhill. Mut (at http://edicionesdigitales.info/plantgenera/plantgenera.pdf) also gives Pedro Franco Dávila, and says that this wasn't mentioned in the original publication, and cites Wittstein (see the introductory section of this list), p. 265. - Dank (push to talk) 01:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your reply. Will use that info in the article.DavidAnstiss (talk) 12:02, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
