Is is the Changing Forget-me-not that has been widely introduced? [1] I thought the Wood Forget-me-not was the usual garden species? [2] -- sannse (talk) 09:57, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

Having seen the Changing Forget-me-not today for the first time... the flowers are tiny, it's definitely not the one widely used as a decorative plant so I doubt that it has been introduced elsewhere much -- sannse (talk) 20:27, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Freemason reference seems unreliable

The reference to Freemasons seems rather out of place, and the web site which is referenced seems rather unreputable -- it is a member of a consipracy theory webring.

• Freemasonry Connection is corrected, updated and added as a seperate header. -- Baphin (talk) 18:32, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's an article on the subject which seems fairly complete -- make sure you read the whole thing.--SarekOfVulcan 22:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

• Here's several external links that give the official story of Freemasonry's use of the forget me not as a symbol.

[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The external link article SarekOfVulcan cited above is the private rant of an ant-Masonic individual. Skull 'n' Femurs 09:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

The links you posted offer no historical proof, and are merely hearsay. With no citation for the original article beginning "As early as the year 1934, soon after Hitler's rise to power, it became apparent that Freemasonry was in danger. In the same year, the German Grand Lodge of the Sun in Bayreuth", which is in fact what you seem to copied almost verbatim in both article, it can only be cited as opinion, not historical data.--Vidkun 16:27, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

No I copied it verbatum from the History of this article and added citations to back it up, ie I've acted as an Editor to improve Wiki information. Skull 'n' Femurs 16:35, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure you added it from histories of this article. That does not change the fact that the information is in fact almost directly copied from the sources your are citing.--Vidkun 16:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Order...

not currently assigned? That is fascinating to me. Why is it not currently assigned? What was it assigned previously? Kingturtle (talk) 02:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
