Rewrite

I have noticed a great deal of work being done here, particularly on the taxa. I have taken the liberty of editing and adding to the introductory material. Please feel free to criticise or revert any errors I may have introduced. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Glad to have you aboard Jlan - your improvements are most welcome! Hamamelis (talk) 23:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I probably won't be much help, I'm afraid. A couple of questions, though: is there any reason for this article to be named Ruiz y Pavón rather than Ruiz and Pavón? And should the genus Gomortega not be in the list of taxa? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:29, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Whatever you decide to edit is fine, but am happy someone else was also trying to improve it. Regarding the name, you would have to ask the article's creator (and that was not me; I just saw it was a real mess, and felt the need to fix it); as far as Gomortega, yes it and a few others should be added (Exostema; Joosia; Ladenbergia; Macrocnemum; and Saracha, to name a few): will add them as time permits (you are obviously free to add these yourself, but I ask that you continue in the same fashion as I have been doing it, for the sake of consistency, which was why I started cleaning up the section in the first place; I've been going through the genera alphabetically). After that lengthy process, I plan to add in the basionyms where they are needed (e.g. adding to the Cosmibuena entry: Cosmibuena grandiflora (Ruiz & Pav.) Rusby is from the basionym Cinchona grandiflora Ruiz & Pav.). Good luck! Hamamelis (talk) 22:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

I think that as per WP:UE (although it doesn't quite cover this case), the article should be moved. I first thought it should be moved to "Ruiz and Pavón", but now think that it is actually a List article, and should probably be at something like "List of taxa named by Ruiz and Pavón". What do others think? Peter coxhead (talk) 21:41, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

List sounds good to me. Plantdrew (talk) 22:34, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes, fully concur. Hamamelis (talk) 14:31, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I've made the move and fixed any resulting double redirects (although some of them I realized with the incorrect edit summary "double dab" – sigh). Peter coxhead (talk) 17:22, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
