Review (criteria)	Support Interesting and useful -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 17:53, 25 May 2019 (UTC)  Comment - I think the scope should be Typha latifolia (bullrush) seed fluff, or something similar to that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)  Done. Small correction. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:09, 26 May 2019 (UTC) I don't understand the reason for the capitalization of "seed fluff" or repetition of the word "seed". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:50, 27 May 2019 (UTC)  Done. Small correction. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2019 (UTC) Again, is "fluff" a proper noun? I actually suggested a format above. I don't insist that everyone follow my suggestions, but we don't capitalize normal nouns in English - one of the weaknesses of the language relative to German (and maybe Frisian?). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:28, 27 May 2019 (UTC) Uncapitalized the "F" and removed the irrelevant period--BoothSift 04:44, 28 May 2019 (UTC) Answer: you can also call it a kluwen of seeds.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:19, 28 May 2019 (UTC) A quick search turns up this term only in Dutch, so I think the answer is that _you_ can call it that, but _I_ cannot, not in English. And for whatever it's worth, Google Translate recognized the word as Dutch and translated it into English as "tangle", which definitely would not be a technical term (then again, is "fluff"?). -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)  Question how to proceed?--Famberhorst (talk) 05:15, 29 May 2019 (UTC)  Comment I think that the proper English term is papus (I am not a botanist, so I cannot comment on the accuracy of the Wikipedia article). Please sign your post. The spelling in the article is "pappus". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:49, 29 May 2019 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted. --BoothSift 03:16, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
