Tracking of articles with sorted citations

[edit]

I have placed a notice ({{Note short footnote style 2 in use}} at the start of this talk page following other notices. This template provides information to editors perhaps unfamiliar with how to add short footnotes and full citations to the sorted list, and aids citation editors helping maintain consistent use of this style by convert inline citations to sfns if needed.

Spelling error

[edit]

I just started, but I noticed a spelling error in the beginning. "specialises" is supposed to be spelled as specializes. 808Poiboy (talk) 18:59, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@808Poiboy: Thanks for pointing this out, but it is not an error but just British English rather than American English. The {{British English}} notice at the top of this page explains that the article is written in British English. SmartSE (talk) 19:05, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plant biology vs botany

[edit]

I believe the name of the article should be "Plant biology" rather than Botany. As a biologist I come across the first term more. I can defend my argument by pubmed search; thus search for "plant biology" yields 29000 results; whereas botany gives only 7000 results; Not that I prefer plant biology personally, botany is nice name enough but that's the trend in science now; Better proof would be probably searching for scientific journals mentioning the corresponding names.
