Nice to see a well-written article on this important species for flowery meadows. It looks as though there'll be little to object to. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:07, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

• Images are all suitably licensed.

• We might usefully gloss "the family Orobanchaceae" as ", the broomrapes" which may help readers a little.

• "through suppression of" -> "by suppressing".

• You could round the 19¾ (lead, body) to 20, it's not that accurate.

• Probably also round the converted inches to the nearest 0.1 inch, again, the 100ths are surely spurious accuracy.

• I can't see why we need the list of synonyms in both infobox and body.

• Lowercase for Machair. Perhaps gloss it "coastal grassland".

• Lowercase for Yellow Rattle and yellow Rattle.

• "when it affects yields" -> "since it affects yields" - it basically always does.

• I'm not convinced by the wikilink on "opportunistically". A wikt link might possibly be helpful but I doubt it, specially as this is already just a gloss.

• "common species": really? Kew says "widespread", which ain't exactly the same thing. Older floras say a lot of species are common, when in fact they're down by 95% on where they were a century ago. I can name some nature reserves where it occurs ...

• "silvery-coloured fruits" -> drop the description; if it's needed it should be in the Description section.

• Why not wikilink Arthur Roy Clapham, E. F. Warburg, and Tom Tutin.

• Nice work with the map.

Summary

This tidy article is almost ready for GA status with just a few minor issues to fix. Lovely work. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:37, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
