Well, let's start this review... Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Illustration-wise, this article seems to be pretty well off. I made a few grammatical corrections in some of the image captions, and I'm concerned that the captions "Infloresence" and "Coral Drift" might be too short, but I'll worry more about that later, when I've had a chance to look into the context of the article with more detail.

There is precious little published info on the cultivar, which makes it hard to write about. (sigh) Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fortunately, I've found no evidence in the article's history of a recent ongoing edit war/dispute, so it quickly checks against that. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:44, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it covers every topic you'd expect a plant species article to cover, and I don't think it goes into too much detail on anything. I'd almost say this could go on for FA, actually. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks - that was our intention. We pretty well scoured every possible place we'd be likely to find info. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In terms of citing sources, this article appears good. It looks as though only reliable sources have been cited, and the "Footnotes" and "References" sections appear to be appropriately laid out. (I might also add that the "External links" section is also very well laid out!!!) Wilhelmina Will (talk) 02:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Just reformatted this for clarity (hope you don't mind), and I think a level 4 heading makes sure this bit transcludes on the talk page proper (otherwise it disappears) cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PPS: the linking and copyediting are all good :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:33, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, with a few tweaks and grammatical corrections, the article has checked against everything! Congratulations! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 03:57, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(in best Elvis voice) why thankyou very much... Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:09, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
