Phragmites australisCommon reed – Per policy, we should used the common name for the title of the article. WP:COMMONNAME states that Wikipedia "generally prefers the name that is most commonly used". In English, this plant is commonly referred to as the "common reed". See for example, the Britannica article on the plant. Hence the article should sit at Common reed, and a redirect should point there from Phragmites australis.

from WP:FLORA: Scientific names are to be used as article titles in all cases except when a plant has an agricultural, horticultural, economic or cultural role or use that makes it more prominent in some other field than in botany. With the exception of the small Uses section this article is about the botany of the species—blindlynx (talk) 20:59, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I note this plant is mentioned on the bush tucker page, and I'd suggest linking it to that page. - I don't know how to do that.

Phrasing referenced to specific locations

[edit]

The phrasing in "A study demonstrated that P. australis has similar greenhouse gas emissions to native Spartina alterniflora." makes it seem like the US is the only place that exists on Earth. If you like: "to native[to where?] Spartina alterniflora." This of course happens also in other articles but should be corrected. I comment this on the talk page in case there are alternative views.
