Oh, ok then. --Eusebius (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you know what you're talking about (I'm not), no objection to a scope change. --Eusebius (talk) 19:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I simply took the liberty of tweaking the scope into official notation, which is a slight deviation from normal scope change procedures. Tell me, if you object to this Mohammad, and I will undo it. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:36, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support satisfies all criteria. -- Slaunger (talk) 08:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Banana scope was more accurate for this very good picture because with just the flowers you can't make the difference between Musa acuminata, Musa ×paradisiaca or other cultivars. Overprecision kills precision. This picture is just the best picture of banana flowers --B.navez (talk) 18:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you have a valid point there. I would be willing to support a slightly wider scope covering banana flowers. -- Slaunger (talk) 06:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree that a banana scope would be accurate but I disagree that the current scope is not correct. I am not an expert in banana plants, but of the few varieties I have seen, all have the similar basic structure but they also have differences on the size of the flowers, thickness, length etc. IMO, this picture can thus represent both, the the general structure of the banana flowers and the specific Musa ×paradisiaca flowers.

      I don't doubt this very one was from a plantain banana-tree for you know it. Of course there are marked physical differences among all banana cultivars, but classification remains complex and not so clear, with multiple supposed hybridation levels, polyploïdie and then somatic mutations. So even a specialist would not be able to say for sure just with these male flowers that they are from Musa x paradisiaca more than from a Musa acuminata cultivar. So, the picture can't be representative of such a woolly group as M. x paradisiaca. Either you give it for exactly the precise cultivar, either you give it for cultivated bananas. By the way this big bud is edible when cooked, and delicious. Do you eat them in Tanzania too ? --B.navez (talk) 17:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
