I tried to translate the title from the spanish and the nederlands title, but I'm not sure about the English name. Can anyone help ? Thanks, Danny-w 09:56, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
it seems that the text is incomplete; the Habitat and the Uses sections manly. any hint on the rest of the text? PedroCarvalho ( talk) 14:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
According to Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (c)2007, astringe is not one of the listed english words. Staunch is included in the listed words meaning:"1: to check or stop the flowing of; also:to stop the flow of blood from (a wound)". Since the leaves of Celtis australis are described in the article as astringent and astringent substances staunch the flow of blood and fluids, it seems that staunch ought to be used to describe the medicinal action. User 80.34.97.69 added the rare word astringe in an edit at 21:48 hours on the 3rd of September in 2006. The meaning of this word was not explained. Since I did not find astringe in the dictionary I changed it to staunch. Nadiatalent changed the word to astringe, claiming in the edit summary to have reverted a change in meaning. If there is supposed to have been a change in meaning, astringe would have to mean something. So, Nadiatalent, what does astringe mean? Is its meaning available in some reference work? I had hoped the explanation I provided in my edit summary would be sufficient to explain the change from astringe to staunch. User:Fartherred from 207.224.86.211 ( talk) 21:43, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Webster's Online Dictionary, "to bind together : cause (tissue) to draw together", doesn't sound like the same meaning as "to check or stop the flowing of; also:to stop the flow of blood from (a wound)". Nadiatalent ( talk) 11:18, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
ClueBot NG reverted user:80.42.204.99 with revert ID:1167810. The edit should have been made to the talk page but it was not vandalism. User:80.42.204.99 has a point. Celtis australis cannot prefer acid, neutral and basic soils. Two out of the three maybe but not all three. Perhaps it thrives in all three. If so the article should so state. Meanwhile I will remove the impossible. - Fartherred ( talk) 02:22, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
