Pear Tomato → Pear tomato – Incorrect capitalization; hopefully not controversial, but you never know... Dicklyon (talk) 21:27, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

• Support – It's not a bird, so the solution seems obvious and uncontroversial. —BarrelProof (talk) 00:07, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
• Support - uncontroversial (BarrelProof, don't quite get the above comment, are birds exempt from WP:CAPS?) In ictu oculi (talk) 05:16, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, there is a "proposed" exception for birds "in ornithology titles". I'm not too fond of it, but it's there, and it seems to pop up frequently in renaming discussions – since many people don't realize that birds are treated differently here. Look up any article about a bird (e.g. Wild Turkey or Passenger Pigeon). You can find it described in WP:Naming conventions (birds), WP:TITLEFORMAT and MOS:CAPS. It is described somewhere as essentially mandatory for birds, optional for lepidoptera, and not used for anything else. I've run into it very recently in requested move discussions at Talk:Wild Turkey (which was my own move request) and Talk:Passenger Pigeon. As background information, I was referred to this interesting article. For more background, see discussions in the archives of WP:Wikiproject Birds. —BarrelProof (talk) 15:19, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Accuracy and/or ambiguity

Tomatoes with pear shapes do not have to be indeterminate. It's possible that the popular ones that we started out with were all indeterminate, but you can have determinate tomatoes with a pear shape. Maybe we need two separate articles. For instance, Fargo is a yellow pear tomato with a semi-determinate growth habit, while Droplet is a red pear tomato with a determinate growth habit. Shoreu (talk) 23:48, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
