Long time no see Esculenta. I'll grab this article for review. Right off the bat, I notices the header 'Systematics' instead of 'Taxonomy'. While I am unsure if Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi has a specific MOS I am missing, 'Taxonomy' is generally the more standard name. Please indicate when an issue has been resolved by a   Done, strikethrough, or some other means. Etriusus (Talk) 02:23, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Image

edit
  • Image rights seem to be in order.
  • Images are appropriate for the piece.

Sourcing

edit
  • Spot checks look good
  • No dead links found
  • No concerns on reliability of sources.

Copy-vios

edit
  • Earwig isn't picking up anything.

Prose

edit

Lead

edit
  • "the identity of their host lichen." awkward phrase, reword

Systematics

edit
  • Title change to 'taxonomy'
  • This section includes molecular phylogenetics, which is not part of taxonomy. Systematics is a more inclusive term that includes classification, taxonomy, nomenclature, and phylogeny. I thought about dividing using subheadings, but the section doesn't seem long enough to me. 18:58, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Esculenta (talk).
  • 'The last of these species' specify
  • 'The genus Protousnea has a sister taxon relationship with Phacopsis, which has been estimated to have evolved from its ancestors during the Miocene (23.03 to 5.333 mya)which has been estimated' Clarify if you're referring to Protousnea or Phacopsis, or if this is when they diverged.
  • According to my understanding (which could be faulty), the "fossil_range" parameter of the taxobox is used when there's actual fossils; in this case, the timeframe is estimated based on ancestral character reconstruction analyses. Does this parameter still apply? Esculenta (talk) 18:58, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Species

  • I need to read up on the MOS for this. The lists are fine but the inclusion of author subscript in the paragraph body is rather difficult to read.
I'll get back to you on this one.


A general note, the page dances around WP:TECHNICAL a few times, I highlighted the most relevant examples needing clarification. It's very well written overall, made some minor CEs and did a little link work. As usual, placing the page on hold. Etriusus (Talk) 02:23, 19 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Translating myco-jargon to layman English is always my main issue with these types of articles, so thanks for paying special attention to this! Thanks for the review Etriusus, it's much appreciated. Let me know if there's more I can tweak. Esculenta (talk) 18:58, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.

  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):   d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
    Sources are reliable, and appropriate for this type of article; several were checked against the statements they supported with no issues found.

  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
