===Referencing===

Always, always reference your sources of information! This cannot be emphasized enough. For a wiki to be a reliable source, the information it contains must come from reliable sources. So the following policy stands:

When adding any material or information, please add a reference to the source at the relevant spot, by adding the name or link of a source in between the reference tags like this: <nowiki><ref>Name of book or URL</ref></nowiki>. It will automatically be referenced in the reference section of the page. If you do not include this reference, your material can be immediately removed as unreliable. Your first-hand knowledge or experience with plants can be added in the comments section below an article, where it will not be confused with the reference article text itself.
