Welcome to Wikipedia, Cherian Nair! I am Kanonkas and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Re: Sesame[edit]

I added "Nair" because that was the person who first described the species; that person's name is often appended to the scientific name. In that case (if I remember the source correctly -- I made that edit over a year ago), that was how the scientific name appeared in the work I cited, & since I had no reason to do otherwise I simply followed the lead of that book. If I violated Wikipedia's Manual of Style in this case (or simply common sense), you are welcome to fix it. -- llywrch (talk) 17:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
