I tried to redirect "herbaceous plant" here, rather than to "perennial plant", but for some reason the redirect doesn't seem to be working. MrDarwin 01:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Seems OK. The redirect works for me. -- Solipsist 04:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A vs. an
Reading "a herb" makes my head hurt. Is this a British/American English thing that I shouldn't fix per the manual of style? moink 01:19, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes it is but that doesn't mean no you shouldn't. If you want to be pedantic you can go way back and find the original way it was written and then we stick with that, or just change it to the
correctahem way you like. I say "a herb" myself, but that is neither here not there. - brenneman {L} 08:10, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Herbaceous vs Herbal!
Since the word "herb" is used in two very divergent ways in normal English as opposed to Botany, I'm splitting the botanical def into its own page (a revamped "herbaceous" article) which is linked on the herb disambiguation page. Krnntp 17:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] References
One thing I notice about the various herb articles(Rosemary being an example) is that many state outrageous claims about medical benefits and uses for cures w/o stating any references at all. Mint tea is stated as a "strong dieuretic". Indeed, a veritable menagerie of random non-culinary uses for herbs and spices have sprung up, with nearly none citing references. Question is: start deletin' or start referencin'? Curuinor 05:46, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up
When I press to edit the See also section I get the references section etc and I cant see how to fix it. Coul;d sopmeone do so and then remove the clean-up tag, SqueakBox 01:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
