Astroloma humifusum
[edit]- ... that the Eastern Bettong eats native cranberries?
- Reviewed: List of largest giant sequoias
- Comment: short sharp hook. Figured the juxtaposition of odd names would get people looking...
Length, date and expansion are fine. No obvious signs of copyvios etc. Article is clearly written, though I would recommend linking the Australian states' names for ease of reference. No picture - not essential but it would be nice to have one. The book is certainly short but I'm not wildly enthused by it (what is the significance of the Eastern Bettong's dietary habits?) Is there anything else that could be used? Prioryman (talk) 01:03, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- Again, I thought it would leave a raeder thinking, "what the %$#^ is a bettong? or a native cranberry for that matter." and click on links. I ruminated on hooks but nothing came up sounding interesting.....Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:12, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- I suppose that's an inherent problem with a plant that, let's face it, doesn't appear to be particularly remarkable. Don't get me wrong, I think the hook is good enough to use; I was just wondering whether a more grabby alternative was possible. If it isn't then don't worry too much about it. I think the article is good to go as it is. Prioryman (talk) 02:04, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
