Talk:Monocotyledon reproduction

Untitled

Everything looks pretty much in shape since it is a draft. Perhaps in the future you can sub-divide certain topics within the sections and subsections as you have in some. Is this a new article I guess? Will you add images? Paecilaema (talk) 00:27, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you changed anything. Still looks good! I still have my same questions from before and a slight suggestion to maybe explain certain terms in subsections that maybe other people (non-scientists) might not understand. 24.178.254.206 (talk) 04:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this is a new article and I hope to eventually add images. I added more sections sub-headings to the pollination syndromes section. I don't know who the audience of this page will be. I thought probably it would be other scientists because the topic is very specific, but I agree its best to assume anyone could read it and define more terms. メガヒロ (talk) 15:42, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, this is really a great article, both absolutely complete and informative. I have two minor suggestions 1.) I noticed that you had a ton of different Paragraph's with their own separate titles which kind of makes the flow choppy for the reader, I understand the constraints of the topic however and 2.) One of the pieces of feedback that I recieved was that my article addition read a little too much like a scientific paper, maybe try to reconfigure some of the more technical aspects in more of a narrative manner to make it possibly more accessible for the reader, again I understand the constraints.

One general suggestion is to look at your Table of contents and make sure the headers and sub-headers are in the order that makes the most sense. The 2nd sentence has a list of things. I am wondering if this list could be in the same order as how your headers are laid out. In the same paragraph you have this sentence, “One of the most significant distinction in the reproduction of monocots is their internal seed morphology and number of cotyledons.” Maybe it should say “two of the most significant distinctions…are” Maybe it would be good after intraspecifically and interspecifically in the Breeding Systems section to have ()’s after them summarizing what they mean? In the self-compatibility section, “orchids, rice, and Caulokaempferia coenobialis (Zingiberaceae)” Maybe “rices” instead of rice? I'm impressed with this article. Such a great informational overview of many smaller topics. Great job! Fisherman!7 (talk) 02:17, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it may help the overall organization of the page if you combine the pollination ecology and pollination strategies into a single section and reduce flowering bamboo phenomenon into a few sentences as opposed to an entire paragraph as it is a little specific for the page as a whole. The organization of the pollination syndromes section is a little confusing and could be reduced to some examples since there are other wiki pages which cover each of those subtopics. I would suggest adding a picture or diagram of a monocot seedling to your Seed structure section as it could be really helpful to understanding the section. Also, I think you should change a few of your heading names to more simple phrases instead of single complex words (i.e. Anemophily and Hydrophily). Other than those points, it is a very detailed and well explained page. Well done! LetMinnow (talk) 22:41, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
