Farther East

Clearly it is farther east then depicted. I live in Monongalia County in WV and I have one in my backyard that I didn't plant. Monongalia county is not represented on the map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.31.113.20 (talk) 16:21, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fruits

Here is a link to a good fruit shot if somebody wants to use it.

At the least, citations are needed for the poisonous qualities of the Buckeye. Preliminary research indicates that it's species effects are exactly opposite of those described in the article, with the fruit being a danger to livestock (and perhaps more importantly to humans!) but digestible by some rodents.

That was from some edits by 24.58.198.189. It has been fixed to its previous state (of 2 days ago). --ChristopherM 22:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a source to make further counterfactual edits easier to detect.Circeus 12:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know what the article was like in April of 2007, but the reference given for Native Americans making a "nutritional meal" from buckeye nuts was non-supportive. I will remove the statement and replace it with a supported statement of Buckeyes being poisonous. Fartherred (talk) 13:40, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

do you agree?

Popularity of the candy

"[chocolate peanut butter buckeyes] are a popular treat in Ohio, especially during the Christmas and college football seasons.[citation needed]"

I really don't think a citation should be needed here; the statement is too obvious/trivial to need a citation. The only reason it even belongs in the article, is because some readers might not be from Ohio or familiar with the local culture. --User:Jonadab~enwiki

An encyclopedia is written by those in-the-know for the benefit of those seeking knowledge. While it is very much true that the candy is popular and that it's especially eaten around Christmas and college football season, it is not self-evidently obvious to the vast majority of our readers. Why would anyone from Timbuktu reading this article think "well of course, it's a Christmas thing"? I used to live in the 'Shoe, and I've no idea why it's a Christmas thing.

Aesculus glabra → Ohio buckeye – WP:FLORACOMMONNAME Kolano123 (talk) 20:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 03:02, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is because we use conkers, which are from horse chestnut and Ohio buckeye. Kolano123 (talk) 16:17, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: I think that there are enough common names here that I wouldn't want to pick one unless it were by far and away the most commonly used. YorkshireExpat (talk) 12:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in the UK conkers are from Aesculus hippocastanum. YorkshireExpat (talk) 12:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know that the UK also has Aesculus glabra, often called "Ohio buckeye". Kolano123 (talk) 16:06, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe as a horticultural plant, but Aesculus hippocastanum is far more common. YorkshireExpat (talk) 11:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is the most commonly used. Kolano123 (talk) 16:09, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You need to prove that. YorkshireExpat (talk) 11:32, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By the most commonly used, I mean the most commonly used name for Aesculus glabra, which is Ohio buckeye. Kolano123 (talk) 16:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: There are no evidence to prove COMMONNAME. Providing one for the community would help. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 03:02, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Multiple vernacular names, and in Ngrams proposed title only barely beats the scientific name in recent years. I don't see a compelling reason to deviate from the WP:CONSISTENT practice of using scientific name titles for plants here. Plantdrew (talk) 23:48, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
