Talk:Rosa 'KORbin'

Patented?

Presumably this was never patented but for those of who who are ignorant in such matters it would be an interesting section to add to the article. Alex McKee (talk) 23:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Answering my own question it wasn't patented, as I thought, but I'm having difficulty finding a decent source to cite. Alex McKee (talk) 23:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Rosa 'Iceberg' → Rosa Iceberg — Iceberg is a trade name rather than the cultivar name (which is 'Korbin'); trade names should not be shown in quotes as per the article and the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants, Article 17. The article title and the redirect at Rosa Iceberg need to be swapped. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:27, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

*Support. Lose the single quotes. Such quotes should be double if they are used at all. See WP:MOS. Noetica^Tea? 01:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC) [Withdrawn; see below.–N]

• Support. Cultivar names are always shown with single quotes, but the question is: Is Iceberg a cultivar name or a selling name? It appears that 'Korbin' [1] is the accepted cultivar name and Iceberg is a selling name [2][3] (and therefore shown without quotes), despite 'Iceberg' [sic] appearing in many texts. Melburnian (talk) 10:46, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah Melburnian, I have learned something. I withdraw my support above because I have no opinion on the matter. As a MOS specialist I will raise the matter of single quotes at WT:MOS, since I now see that this is a well-established exception that should be noted in WP:MOS. Thank you!

Thanks for that. --Melburnian (talk) 22:07, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

What's with the weird font? It makes it unsightly to read.

See the documentation at {{tdes}}. The International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants requires trade designations/selling names to be typeset in a different font to normal text and cultivar names. It's not clear how to do this best in Wikipedia; one of the choices is to use Comic Sans font – not ideal, but can you suggest a better solution? Peter coxhead (talk) 08:24, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
