Talk:Dark oak

Rename proposal
Someone tagged this article with a proposal to rename to Dark Oak tree. That user is blocked for disruptive editing, so I have removed the tag. In any case I thought I'd address it:

I such a move for these reasons:
 * 1) The common English usage for referring to a kind of tree is simply to use the name of the tree; for example, "that's an oak, and over there is a birch"; unless you're referring to a fruit tree ("apple tree") you just use the name without the redundant "tree" appended. We don't refer to a "Dark Oak tree forest", we just say "Dark Oak forest".
 * 2) The titles Oak, Birch, Dark Oak, Acacia, etc. all already directed to the Tree article, suggesting that these titles are about the tree, not the material. The only exception is Jungle tree because Jungle is already an article about the biome.

For consistency, simplicity, and in the interest of common usage, we don't need "tree" in these titles. It's redundant. Amatulic (talk) 21:32, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
