thanks for clarifying - i am honestly trying to remember and understand, it's just a lot for such seemingly simple issue. is it not possible to check for some formatting errors thru the script? like the 1st capital?and then just convert it prior to submition? wouldn't that be simpler then rejection and resubmittal?
and i think it would be useful to know if rejection happened due to a bad cap/quote or due to a more serious nomenclature issue.
and i did not know that you can't change the proposal :). i thought the way it works, i supply as much as i can, and then you'll edit whatever is not right. you know much better about a lot of nomenclature, obviously. and most people would defer to your correction. + i thought you might have links handy with all sorts references for names, for verification. so that's a wrong assumption?
the trade names are not difficult WHEN you can access trade name databases - i know those exist. don't they have them for plants? of course, they are not free usually.
but i thought that perhaps some of the members are also pros and might have access to such data?
the main reason why i wanted to add 'dumen' and 'red fox' to the entry is: i find it very useful for gathering plant info/specs when i know who hybridizes/produces/grows them. they often have better info on growing parameters then just sellers.
what if i instead just put a link to redfox.com - for reference - in the comments? is that a good or bad idea? because many people sell these begonias, but if you look at names, they are all over. so some sites are 'more accurate' then others.
another thing that makes me wonder:
it should be quite simple to clone the existing similar entry and just change a color of the cultivar in the series. is it necessary to even have sep DB entries, 'cause the color is different and hence the name is 'slightly' different?
there is one there for 'dragone sunset' - which is one color of many in the series. but there are more. and, of course, we can only post our own pics. so, unless a member is willing to submit a proposal for a new cultivar name in order to put a pic in, it won't even BE in the system. while, if you go to red fox site - you can get a full list of all series and 'color names' in a jiffy .... and put them all in at once!
like you could have 'dragone' series entry - and just sev buttons with 'add-on' name. so to add a new one - you just type in a new color name and that will generate an auto proposal? with fewer errors? and the pics can be grouped based on color-name, but the comments/growers notes belong together, perhaps, for all dragones?
and all of this, so i can put in my dragone rosewood pic in faster! I'm all ears!
