A confusing link
[edit]A link to biological specimen was added to the first sentence of the lead paragraph on 8 March 2025. I don't understand the relevance of that link to the current article. Surely it doesn't belong in the opening sentence. I would prefer to delete that link, or at least move it to the body of the article where one or more citations can be provided.

- I'm not sure why you don't understand the relevance. Botanical specimens are, by definition, a subset of biological specimens. Albeit, the Wikipedia article on biological specimens seems to emphasize medical specimens. But that's an issue with the breadth of that article, not the concept itself.

- @Peter G Werner: The article biological specimen is itself irrelevant, not the concept. By linking to that article, the impact of the current article is diminished. It would be better if that link were relegated to the "see also" section. Tom Scavo (talk) 22:16, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
