Hey Spipke! There was a lot of great points in your outline and I think you have a great foundation for your final article. Especially good job linking to other wikipedia pages, continue to do this for your final! A couple issues I had were more so clarification items that might have just not been included because this was a draft but I'll mention them anyway. First, I was unclear whether C. glaber and P. glabrum are the same species? If so, maybe talk more about that in the history.. why does it have two names and why was it classified this way? After reading further, I see that you did this in taxonomy but it would be helpful in terms of reading flow for you to briefly touch on it in the history. If you wanted to beef up the article a bit, you could touch on important similarities between your species and P. spiulosum- you mention their main difference but you could include some similarities and the implications of this in determining which species is which. I was also a bit confused with the placement of your points on sclerotiorin, it just seemed like a bit of a random point. You could potentially move it and talk about it more in health significance? I really liked that you made health significance its own subcategory, it makes reading a lot easier and can easily find what you are looking for about the species. I also see that you mentioned that it can grow indoors, does it have a preferential place indoors? Lastly, you mention in health significance "HP"... I wan't sure what this was and may be helpful to briefly describe it (or link to the wiki page for it).
Overall great job! Just a few clarification ideas for you :)

[edit]Hello Spipke, I read your outline about your fungus, Penicillium glabrum, and I really enjoyed learning about your fungus. However, I think I can give you some suggestions that can help you to improve your final draft. First of all, I noticed that in your article outline, all of the fungi names are not italicized. When you are using scientific names, you should italicize the genus. Second, I really liked how you separated history section and the taxonomy section. However, in your physiology section, you mentioned that Penicillium glabrum grows well at 25ºC and do not grow at 37ºC and their optimal temperature for growth is 23ºC but, I think all of them should be on your growth and physiology section. Also, in your physiology section, I think you should bit more focus on their actual philological state, or how things are produced, for example, maybe talk little bit more about how citromycetin is produced from your fungus. Lastly, you mentioned that your fungus is "involved in suberosis, precipitins for P. glabrum found in patients with suberosis". However, precipitin is an antibody, not a product that your fungus made that caused HP. I really wish to know what or how does your fungus cause HP and is there any treatment for it. Those are my suggestions that I would like to give you and may improve your final article. I really enjoyed reading about your your fungus Penicillium glabrum. I hope this comment helped. Good Luck!

Hello Spipke, Your article outline contains a lot of relevant informations collected from a number of different reliable sources. I've listed below some suggestions that may help to make your article more informative and coherent.
1. History: I've found a wikipedia page for Leipzig Botanical Institude that you may want to use as a hyperlink. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig_Botanical_Garden). Same thing for citric acid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid). / Your second bullet point is a bit ambiguous (Wehmer began his research on P. glabrum in 1889 in the Leipzig Botanical Institute)/ What do you mean he "began" his research? Did he discover P. glabrum in 1889? - It'd be more coherent if you could define what "monoverticiliate" means. In Penicillium expansum wikipedia page, the second paragraph under disease cycle section has information on monoverticiliate and penicilli. - For your final draft, I think the wikipedia page for the following fungus: Scedosporium prolificans can help you in terms of the history of taxonomy. Their histoy of taxonomy are somewhat similar and I think it will be a good guideline to get the basic idea of how to organize your bullet points into a paragraph.
2. Taxonomy: Error in the third bullet point; "closely resembles resembles Penicillium spinulosum" / I especially like the part where you've mentioned that it belongs to the "Penicillim frequens series," along with their common characteristics. It'd be more informative if you could describe why they were grouped or compare to other species in the genus Penicillium. I tried to look into it but couldn't find any information on "Penicillim frequens" on the online literatures. I suggest you confirm if their grouping is still relevant, especially since the source you've referenced is from 1984. / Hyperlink to Conidia wikipedia page to make your article more informative.
3. Growth and Morphology: Is monoverticillate and monoverticulate the same thing? Even if they are interchangably used, I think it'll be better for you to stick with one of them. / maybe define CYA/penicilli?
4. Physiology: I think there are alot of somewhat overlapping information about their growth temperature. / The point about their production of sclerotiorin & inhibition of aldose reductase is really great + their activity in relation with diabetes complication. For the final article, I think you're article will be much more informative if you could include their clinical implications (if there is any - I couldn't find any online). / I've found a source online that deals with differential expression of genes under thermal stress. (Link down below) Take a look at it and see if you want to add it for the final draft or not.
5. Habitat and Ecology: You've mentioned that its habitats are "on food and indoors," but they also grow on soils/trees? / You have alot of information on their habitat, but I feel like you lack information on their ecological roles/impacts. Maybe talk about their ability to produce citrate or antibacterials in relation to those?
6. Health Significance: I really like how you've added this section; you've found alot of information on how your species can be clinically important, great job. / You've mentioned that "Suberosis is due to inhalation of dust from mouldy cork." Maybe include on your habitat section about their growth on cork? / "An estimated 1000 to 2000 workers in the Portugese cork industry suffer from suberosis;" is this per year? out of how many workers? reaylly hard to grasp its impact based only on this information.

Overall, your outline is well-written. It contains a lot of informative details in many different aspects. Great job! Good luck on your final draft! --Phll (talk) 22:37, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
