Banksia: Plants Project‑class | ||||||||||

HI guys, I'm contemplating taking the current Banksia article through GA then PR getting it ready for FA nominations, or should I take say Banksia menziesii first. Any thoughts? Gnangarra 06:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Um, what's GA? I am a neophyte at all this so whatever you think will do it. Maybe put them all to FA nomination since there are loads of dinosaur articles going in.... Cas Liber 06:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
OK, right. In which case several of the longer species (ericifolia, spinulosa, menziesii) are better bets. I will scrape my notes for any more info to add to them first Cas Liber 11:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok, B.menziesii is in PR now so I'll take that to GA then bring the other two on. Gnangarra 11:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm inclined to remove this from the Banksia project. Thoughts? Hesperian 03:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Just for fun, I ran google searches on each of the Banksia species, with "-wiki" to exclude our work (although this didn't get rid of all the mirrors/scrapers). It gave an interesting insight into what are the prominent and obscure species. At the prominent end, there are ten species that got over 9000 hits; in descending order: B. integrifolia, B. serrata, B. marginata, B. ericifolia, B. spinulosa, B. grandis, B. menziesii, B. robur, B. attenuata, B. coccinea. All the rest had less than 1200 hits.
At the other end of the scale, B kingii had only 79 hits; no surprises there - it is a fossil. A further six had less than 200 hits; in ascending order: B. telmatiaea, B. aquilonia, B. rosserae, B. lanata, B. oreophila.
These results should be taken with a grain of salt. e.g. I might have missed a lot of hits for B. aquilonia because pages still call it "B. integrifolia var./subsp. aquilonia". And some species names, like B. telmatiaea, are a bugger to spell, so there might be more pages under misspellings.
