Notice of requested move

This article is an improvement over a redirect to Salsola, but it conflates the habit and the common name. Also, this article was created in the face of a requested move of Tumbleweed (disambiguation) to Tumbleweed. --Una Smith (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The requested move is still hard to understand. However, I asked you to wait until the discuss was over on that requested move to continue linking to the redirect to Salsola. You seemed intent on ignoring that request. It made less work for me to just write the article. The intention is to conflate the habit and the common name for the purposes of this article and use the dab page for the common name redirects.
When there are many things with the same name, but one is used far more commonly than others, on Misplaced Pages that one can be the name, then there is a dab page for the others. There is no purpose than in making the article about tumbleweeds called something like "Tumbleweed (weed)" or "Tumbleweed (plant)" with so many other competitors, but this name clearly leading in dictionaries as the primary meaning of the name. --KP Botany (talk) 03:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Move to neologism

No, you can't make up a mixed name that means nothing and move the page. Good grief, what is going on? --KP Botany (talk) 04:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Una, diaspore makes no mention of tumbleweeds. Do you have a source for why diaspore should be appended to the term? ++Lar: t/c 07:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
