I believe this is actually called the Queen of Falklands Fritillary. GreyishWorm (talk) 00:57, 22 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Here is one use of on its own. Also in various web sources, e.g.:, , , , . But you are right that the form with "Queen" is more common. 98.170.164.88 01:24, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

 * IMO Queen of the Falklands fritillary and Falklands fritillary should be separate entries, if citable. (And theoretically Queen of the Falklands on its own as an ellipsis of the former, if it were citable, but it seems hard to find.)
 * Having just Falklands fritillary and then two quotations with "Queen" and a usage not saying that the more common term uses "Queen" seems wrong. The correct parsing of these quotes is "{Queen of the Falklands} fritillary", not "Queen of the {Falklands fritillary}", so they don't attest the specific noun phrase "Falklands fritillary". Therefore, this shouldn't technically have passed with only one citation of the noun phrase "Falklands fritillary" on the page, even if the sources linked above do qualify. 70.172.194.25 03:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, I added more citations in a variety of different forms. You can split it up if you want, but there are still quotations to pass it in the shorter "queen of"-less form. Falkland fritillary (no "s") is the most common spelling although it seems a little weird (only one Falkland?). Ioaxxere (talk) 04:34, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, 'Falklands fritillary' is also a bit odd, as the attributive form of a noun is usually the singular form, and it's even possible that 'Falkland' is an adjective. The singular form is even claimed as a synonym of 'the Falkland Islands'.  Incidentally, is anyone going to raise a request for verification to match this entry - there's no notice on the page itself! --RichardW57m (talk) 10:38, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
