Inappropriate section moved to Talk[edit]

The following new section was added on 31 July 2007 in this edit by 91.104.190.26 (talk · contribs), who has made no other contributions:

Other persons called Hugo De Vries

The fictional television detective Inspector Morse had an adversary called Hugo De Vries who appeared as a Professor Moriarty figure to Morse and took great delight in inflicting mental torture and nearly succeeds in breaking Morse. De Vries was played by Ian McDiarmid who also played Emperor Palpatine in the Star Wars sextology.

I removed the section from the article and am offering it on the Talk page for your review. My sense is that is does not belong. I've never seen two unconnected people with the same name being treated together in a single article. Usually there is a DAB page or a hatnote to deal with similarly-named people, and in any case this paragraph would need to establish its notability. Please comment if you disagree with the removal.

evening primrose[edit]

In this article it talks about his theory of genetics agreeing with Mendel's after doing experiments with the evening primrose (Oenothera lamarckiana). To my knowledge this is incorrect. He only found the Oenothera lamarckiana when looking for an organism to support his rapid mutation hypothesis. This organism supported his idea because it would not breed with similar surrounding breeds - but could never prove it with other plants. He claimed this was an organism undergoing rapid mutation - which there must only be a few of at any given point on earth. It turned out just to be some sort of special chromosomal peculiarity that makes this plant this way. But is not the basis of his genetic writings. According to my readings he crossed different varieties of many different plants, including poppies, and maize in his hybridization experiments to show Mendelian ratios.MustangAficionado (talk) 04:10, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. It may serve as a reminder that this article deserves major improvement. One could probably get most of the books needed from a typical public library, since any history of genetics will have good material on this period. Hmm..
