[edit] Inappropriate Content
Given that this is supposed to be an article about a species of plant, with information relevant to those interested in botany, it seems to me that the paragraph near the end (under "see also") about "goldenrod" as slang for "penis" is not appropriate. It should either be removed or at least put as a separate heading on a disambiguation page. I'm not a prude, and I don't have a problem with sexual content, but it should not intrude into contexts like this, where it comes off sounding like a sophomoric double entendre, rather than part of a serious article.

[edit] Too many species
There are too many species. There are at least 100 species. We at least have to make them into seperate articles.
- Differentiating between species of Solidago is a mind-warping excersize for even the most skilled botanists. If species articles are written, they will be written. I don't think we making 100 stubs for this genus would be particularly productive. SB Johnny 21:47, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] color?
Golenrod is also a color. Some1 put a link over.--GravityFong 10:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC) some godlenrods attrack there insects by there bright color.Also by there big or smallness they really like the big ones though.Becasue it is easyeir to see them. And they also like the smell of the flower.
[edit] increased kidney output >> aquaretic
"The variety Solidago virgaurea is a traditional kidney tonic. It has aquaretic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and antiseptic action and seems to increase kidney output.[citation needed]"
Aquaretics, by nature, increase kidney output, yes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaretics —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.118.210 (talk) 22:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
