Shouldn't the title be singular, as in "Conifer cone"? I would have moved it, but there is already a redirect at "Conifer cone". However, this should redirect there, not as it is. I just don't know how to move it without misplacing the edit history. --DanielCD 18:06, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It should really be, yes, but I've always felt it is more bother to move than it is worth, as the page is only ever linked in a piped link as [[conifer cones|cone]] (since cone inevitably has to be a disambig page) - MPF 10:43, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Immature photo ?
In the article : "The photo (right) shows mature male pine cones shortly after pollen release." Title of the picture : "Pine cones, immature male.jpg" I don't know which is right.
- They are mature, after pollen release; note how the scales are open and dried-out. For comparison with immature male cones (not yet shedding pollen), see Image:Pineflower9538.JPG - MPF 10:43, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
Let's elaborate on how the scales flake back when the cone becomes dry.
[edit] Reword
The first sentence should be reworded. The term "cone" is applied to strobili in general, not just those of conifers. --Schzmo 20:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- I added a sentence talking about strobili. What do you think? Gary 21:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Scrapbooks?
Maybe I'm missing something, but "Pinecones can also be used for various things such as scrapbooking" seems incredibly strange and random. It's been here for a while, so I'm hesitant to remove this sentence, but I'd propose that, if it's going to stay, someone elaborate (how is a pinecone used for scrapbooking?) and move it to somewhere other than its current placement, which seems arbitrary.
