Please don’t bite me, I’m a newbie!
I’m a university student in a Wikipedia Education class, and I’m currently learning how to contribute to Wikipedia.
I am approaching my subject in good faith.
If you have any concerns or questions, my tutor’s name is sun_jess (talk · contribs). Thanks!
I am new to wikipedia editing. I am undertaking this project as part of a unit at university.
Ceodes umbellifera
[edit]Hello A01, hope you and yours are well. A brief scan of the page leads to the following comments: Please pay attention to Petercoxhead's comments at WP:Wikiproject Plants, particularly the currently accepted name. I also note that you have used poorly supported info for native distribution. I draw your attention to POWO's currently accepted native range, you can include the rest but mark them as less supported, as probably introduced/naturalized. There is more literature about this plant out there. I am restricted to Google Scholar at present (not affiliated with a tertiary institution, can't afford fees, though acknowledge ability to access some databases via WP). There is quite a few papers there that contain relevant info suitable for WP, including animal species associated with the plant, more on ethnobotany (sorry that's the bit I like) and other info. As you are a student at university you should have direct access not only to an greater range of journals and databases, but also to monographs (books in the library). In your references, apart from the online common databases (powo, apni), I see very little high quality botanic references, articles published in peer-reviewed botanical and affiliated journals. I am aware that botany may not be one of your areas of study, but this is an article about a plant, so briefly delving into that world would be a good thing (to say nothing about the benefits of multi-disciplinary awareness). All this is critical, you have improved the article, you have made WP a better thing, thank you for your work, good luck with your study and please, if you feel like it, keep improving WP with your editing.
