I'll review this. Comments in a few days. Sasata (talk) 19:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- lead: link Queensland, monograph, variety, bushfire
- lead's a bit short; how about a couple more sentence about what it looks like?
- "Distributed broadly," in Australia? Queensland? Doesn't look broadly distributed from the range map below!
- inconsistent use of endash or "to" when describing measurement ranges
- "They measure 0.8 to 1.2 cm" not sure if "they" refers to old flowers, oval follicles, or the woody spike form the previous sentence
- "The obovate dark grey-brown to black seeds sandwiching a woody separator." obovate - jargon; grammar needs fixing
- "distinctive enough for it to be considered a separate species to B. integrifolia." maybe "… considered a species distinct from B. integrifolia."
- link morphology
- "with plants with normal" reword to avoid repetition
- link cladistic, taxonomy
- "Despite initially giving it varietal level" giving->assigning?
- did you ever get a definitive answer about not capitalizing incomplete sentence figure captions?
- 99% sure we don't...no sentence..no caps. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:00, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm, if this is true, then 1000's of captions will have to be changed across the encyclopedia. Note that MOS:CAPTION states "Captions normally start with a capital letter.", and no exception is noted in this regard for non-sentence captions. I'm not worried about it for GAN, but consider changing your 99% surety level if you take this to FAC ;-) Sasata (talk) 05:37, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- 99% sure we don't...no sentence..no caps. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:00, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- "Trees it grows commonly with include" sounds a bit awkward
- link understorey, Wet Tropics, acidic soil
- a similar species section is missing; is this species readily distinguishable from, for example, the other species in series Salicinae?
- why not include the length of the perianth from Zich & West 2010?
- any chance of having pics of the crown, the bark,
the white leaf undersurface, or a mature fruit?
- make common name redirects?
- apparently the Aborigines called the plant jingana (see here) This same source mentions that the southernmost occurrence is at Proserpine.
- no no, it mentions the northernmost occurrence of compar is at Proserpine. added other bit now 13:59, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- nothing useful in the following sources?
- Title: Eastern Banksia of the B. integrifolia group.
- Author(s): Blake, T.
- Source: Australian Plants Volume: 13 Issue: 105 Pages: 200-207 Published: 1985
- Title: The Banksia integrifolia L.f. species complex (Proteaceae)
- Author(s): Thiele, Kevin ; Ladiges, Pauline Y.
- Source: Australian Systematic Botany Volume: 7 Issue: 4 Pages: 393-408 DOI: 10.1071/SB9940393 Published: 1994
- to be consistent, you should give the annual rainfall in imperial units
Two final things:
- "50 follicles each, each of which" reword to avoid repetition
- there's a deadlink that should be fixed
Other than this (and the captions non cap issue), I'm confident that this meets the GA criteria. All images appropriately licensed; promoting now. Sasata (talk) 05:37, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
Comments edit
I see Sasata is taking up the review, but I had a few brief comments to add.
- Thiele & Ladiges published in 1996, not 1994, according to the citation.
- The paragraph should make clear, as in Banksia grossa, that their cladistic analysis was based on morphology. As presently written, the sudden jump from "nested in B. integrifolia" to "off in different clade" is puzzling, and suggests some sort of error in Theile & Ladiges' work; when it's understood that their work was solely morphological, it's not surprising that molecular methods might dramatically rearrange the phylogeny.
- In the references, Mast's name should be linked at first occurrence rather than third.
- Have Telopea and Cunninghamia ISSNs?
