Comments (9/25/25)

Lead

• Recommend removing "the" from "the flowering plants".
  • Done.

Wood

• De-wikilink "wood" unless you can find a more specific target.
  • Done.

Distribution and ecology

• "75° north" should be in lower-case.
  • We agreed it should be North, this is the usual convention. We use lower case when it's just a direction.
    • We encountered this yesterday with Larch. It looks like it should be lower-case per Circles of latitude between the 70th parallel north and the 75th parallel north. In fact, it's the exact same sentence as from Larch. I've changed it for you.
• De-wikilink New Zealand and South Africa.
  • Done.

Economic importance

• Recommend changing UK to "United Kingdom", but they may just be a personal preference.
  • Done.

• Do we still have telegraph poles? Are they still called telegraph poles anywhere? In the U.S., they're called "telephone poles".
  • British English.

User:Chiswick Chap: That's it; very few comments. I'll try to do the image review and source review promptly. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:54, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Image review (9/25/25)

• Images have appropriate licenses.

• Recommend de-wikilinking "snow" from the photo under Description because that is a very common term.
  • Done.

• Otherwise, image captions are good.
• Recommend adding alt-text to images.

Source review (9/25/25)

• Random spot check of sources checks out.
• Source review passes.

User:Bgsu98: all done to date. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:32, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
