    Seems likely that this name has been misspelled and should be G. bonplandi.

    Is G. bomplandi here a misspelling of G. bonplandi?

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Groeberia":

    Much better but still a little confusing. Looks like references both in the text box and the references box. Also, the subject seems to be "Behavior" but several aspects of biology are covered. Perhaps change subject to "Brief summary"?

    Cyndy Parr commented on an older version of Groeberia:

    Something strange happened with the formatting and this is garbled. Also there is far too much information here for a single article -- probably should be broken up into different chapters. Would love to work with Olingo to straighten out the problems and get this valuable information on EOL.

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Dark Nanaimo":

    Is this really a morph or is it colonized by algae? Color is so algae-like!

    I'm not a nudibranch expert, but I trust Ken-ichi and this sure looks like all the other photos we have of this species.

    Cyndy Parr commented on "PIC_RJS_24_DSCN4278":

    Not sure how this gets placed on Bromus catharticus page, as the caption mentions only Tropaeolum (a nasturtium, which looks like the main focus on the image). At least 3 species here and without a more explanatory caption it will be misleading to users.

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Brief Summary":

    This is a really good start but will need a little work before I can mark it "trusted." Can you cite your sources by adding references for the information? The word "cluth" is misspelled. Also I recommend you change the word "classification" to "family" in the first sentence. The sentence about "migratory" doesn't make much sense, as many birds return to their natal areas to breed even if they migrate. One of the key characteristics you might mention about penguins is their specialized feathers; you might want to add something about that.

    Wish we had better images available to us. This image focused on Wyoming Indian Paintbrush supposedly has F. paniculata at the base.

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Frasera paniculata Torr.":

    @Tom Schweich: Your comment from 3 years ago still lives on EOL (see the Updates tab). I've looked over the EOL page and (to my surprise) we have NO information about this species from GBIF now (not sure why) and so the only source reporting the erroneous point is DiscoverLife, which presumably got it from GBIF which got it from USDA plants. I left a comment on the DiscoverLife map so that they will get news of the correction. However, until it is corrected at USDA Plants, it is likely to persist. Their page for distribution updates is here http://plants.usda.gov/du/DistributionUpdate.html . Meanwhile, I wish there were more freely re-usable info about this species.

    Cyndy Parr commented on "Discover Life: Point Map of Frasera paniculata":

    According to Tom Schweich on Taxacom and here, the occurrence in Nevada (which appears to be from the USDA Plants database, clicking through to the source) is erroneous, as it was actually Frasera albomarginata.

    Cyndy Parr commented on "File:NSRW Rook.png":

    Source should be noted in a caption. Doesn't look like an adult rook though labeled as such in the original source.
