Genera named for people

• Help would be appreciated in finding more information for these people, identified only as "wife of", "mother of" or "granddaughter of": Selina Mary Ward, LaDean H. Egan, unnamed wife in Latouchea, Amalia Pauline Wilhelmine Buch, Karin Tanguy, Martha Urban. - Dank (push to talk) 01:52, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
• Maurandya was previously Maurandia. - Dank (push to talk) 03:48, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
• One editor suggests s:Lawson, Isaac (DNB00) for Isaac Lawson. - Dank (push to talk) 12:07, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
• I've removed this one that came from Burkhardt: "Psammisia Ericaceae Psammus (Psametich, Psammis), third Egyptian pharaoh of the 23rd Dynasty, around 722/730 to 712 BC, source is Klotzsch 1851". There's no pharaoh by that name at that time. Maybe Psamtik I is meant, maybe not. - Dank (push to talk) 10:17, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
• Now 1031 rows. - Dank (push to talk) 18:59, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
• Genus names that appear only in Quattrocchi are omitted from this list; they'll appear in a longer list. - Dank (push to talk) 03:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Site links

In these two edits, 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) 16:34, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

My recent edits

• These are my edits in response to the latest review: adding "army in India", removing page numbers in the References section, and adding links to many professions. (It wasn't possible to do that in the table itself without running into SEAOFBLUE issues, but I was able to mention and link many professions in the introduction and in a footnote.) That's all I've got for now, but I'm open to suggestions. - Dank (push to talk) 21:24, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
• There was a request to link countries, but recently promoted FLs, such as List of sculptures of Ludwig van Beethoven, don't seem to do this.
• The anchors I just added for some family names are for the benefit of links that will be coming from List of plant families with etymologies. - Dank (push to talk) 02:56, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
• In response to the comment in the previous FLC about linking botanical gardens, I've changed most instances of "director of the botanical garden" to "botanical garden director". On reflection, I don't have any confidence that there was only one garden in each city that could ever be called a "botanical garden", and I'd prefer to be consistent. - Dank (push to talk) 18:37, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
• On the same point, I made a series of edits to better focus attention on what roles these people played and less attention on where they were (for consistency, and because some of these questions can't be answered definitely, and to avoid inviting discussions about red links). - Dank (push to talk) 14:56, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Updated list

Plant genera named after people (1753-1853) JOSÉ A. MARI MUT (a retired professor, Department of Biology, University of Puerto) has done an updated version (2021) of Lotte's list - with pdf link below. http://edicionesdigitales.info/plantgenera/plantgenera.pdf Could be a useful link for any other editors checking out other information.

Thanks. It hasn't been published yet as far as I know, but it has some great information, and it's certainly worth publishing. - Dank (push to talk) 14:04, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
