Sunflower is included in the 2006 Wikipedia CD Selection, or is a candidate for inclusion in the next version. Please maintain high quality standards and, if possible, stick to GFDL-compatible images. |
wow, i think that this is a very well done article. It has all the sections clearly labeled and it is easy to read. One small thing would maybe be to have less sections, although I do think that for showing so many different aspects of the sunflower you do a good job of keeping it focused. Overall well done, probably one of the best I have read. I would say try to simplify it a little bit, and are all the pictures relevant to the article?

[edit] New image
I'd like to propose this image for the sunflower article.
Wow that's nice. Go ahead and add it to the gallery, if that's where you'd like it.--Niels Ø 17:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)Bold text
[edit] Unneccessary reference
Is Samurai Champloo important enough to be included in this article? It doesn't seem to add much to the article. Why's every article I look at have some reference to anime?
-
- Why does every other article I read have reference to some American Sitcom or other live-action medium? It's a part of popular culture, that's why. The Sunflower Samurai as well as Sunflowers themselves are a HUGE central plot point that dominates almost every single episode.
-
-
- So post it in the Samurai Champloo article. Anime is not central nor even moderately relevant to actual sunflowers.

- If it is at the end, labeled, and sufficiently known information, why not have it? Pablo2garcia 00:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] why do sunflowers "want" to follow the sun?
what do they get out of it? is this known? guessed by relevant public work? I myself would even take a clue, here. (thats I really wanna get info on this) Bye and thanks. Pablo2garcia 00:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Heliotropic flowers are more prevalent among plants in alpine areas. The absorbed light makes the flowers warmer, which attracts more pollinating insects. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1046/j.1365-3040.1998.00336.x?cookieSet=1 May be the sunflower's heliotropism is a rudimentary feature from an alpine past?

[edit] Pizarro?
It says that he cultivated them around 1000 B.C.... but this is impossible because Pizarro didn't even go to the Americas until the 16th century A.D.
- Although the text did not say Pizarro cultivated sunflowers, the sentence has been rephrased. Ceinturion 12:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
