Names

@Brendonmotom, as I'd mentioned before, we can add information about local names, but it needs a reference to a reliable source. For example, this sentence: It is called Hengra Bubar (flower) in Tripura's Kokborok language and has a significance in Tripuri culture, is missing a reference as this information is not mentioned in any of the three citations that were added. And this sentence: Folk people of Tripura predict the weather and rainfall variation through flowering phenology of night flowering jasmine which help them to plan agroforestry activities and disaster prevention, is closely paraphrased from this reference [1] that was added. It was also cited twice, was there a reason for this? Eucalyptusmint (talk) 02:29, 22 May 2023 (UTC)

Brendonmotom, adding the same info back isn't an accurate reflection of the edit summary improvement and neither is calling my revert vandalism. Regardless, I'd be more than happy to help address some of these core policy issues, work towards building an encyclopedia and improve this article. One thought I had was to rephrase the second sentence (to avoid close paraphrasing) to the following: The people of Tripura use the plant to help predict weather and rainfall. This information is also probably better placed in the "Uses" section than "Names", since the info has to do with how the plant is used and not so much the name. Let me know what you think.
