The
pomegranate (
Punica granatum) is a
fruit-bearing
deciduous shrub in the family
Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) tall. The pomegranate was originally found only throughout the
Mediterranean region. It was introduced into
Spanish America in the late 16th century and into California by
Spanish settlers in 1769. This photograph shows a number of
sarcotesta seedcoats from a pomegranate. This image is a focus-stacked image consisting of 31 images.

Username pronunciation:
Not much to say about me really :) I am in the UK, which is going to naturally affect a few things. My politics are going to be somewhere to the left of the USA and somewhere to the right of Laos. I try not to let that influence anything I do here. I am subject to UK laws which does affect things, I don't really deal with fair use copyright claims, and I don't recognise first amendment claims. These are just examples. I am going to speak funny, spell some words strangely, use idioms you might have to look up, and employ British humour. At the same time, I am familiar with many international experiences and perspectives. I registered this account in 2005, and could write back then, so I am at least that old. I don't possess any pronouns, and yours are probably going to involve the singular they. I am not paid by anyone to edit or perform any other actions. If you receive any request for payment mentioning my username then it's a scam. I don't use this username on any other (non-wikimedia) website.
Notes for other admins
[edit]I am currently an admin and checkuser (along with some other stuff). Other admins should feel free to adjust or reverse any admin actions I've made, as long as they understand the basis and consequences, with the following qualifications. First, any action I've marked as a checkuser action is based on non-public information and should not be adjusted without consultation with a checkuser. This is actual policy. Any checkuser will suffice, but you might want to start by consulting with me. I would also add with respect to checkuser blocks, revoking TPA (or maybe email) is usually fine but adjusting parameters or anything else you really should at least let me know. I try to be very precise and deliberate in any action I take. Second, I frequently deal with other private or otherwise unstated information, involving institutional knowledge, LTA cases, and private requests. I'm working on improving my communication skills, but I don't always make clear what's going on for various reasons. If you don't fully understand what's going on then I'm usually happy to provide as much information as I can, and if required, to refer you in good faith to people you can check with or appeal to. If in doubt, just ask. And in any case, please just let me know. These principles, although directed to admins, also apply to regular editors.
