Wording and tense is really well done with no bias seen at all as I was reading through it. Maybe just place the lighting and temperature into 1 subcategory like Environmental Conditions or requirements. The information on its invasiveness was well done also. Just include your references and make sure to have more of your information have sources behind it cause that could be a possible issue once it goes onto wikipedia itself.

Hello, I think the headings are presented in a logical order. Perhaps the subheadings underneath the description can be combined into a new larger heading. In terms of bolding, the name of the organism when first mentioned should be bolded, which you did correctly, however, most of the information under the headings do not need to be bolded. I would double check the references list just because there are citations present which are correctly placed after the punctuation, but do not appear on the references list. Perhaps at the end of the article you could include a "See Also" heading to includes links to related pages. Also, links can be added to scientific terms so people can look up those terms, such as "dioecious". I think having more information on the reproduction of this species would be helpful as well. The information on the species as an ecosystem engineer and the relationship between humans was really thorough, and was curious if this species has any known predators.

I agree with what everyone else has said so far. You should have your References at the bottom and then have them linked to the article so that they are the raised numbers after the punctuation. This is well written and does include a lot of information though. If you can expand on some of the information you have present so that others with less background can understand exactly what you're presenting. Great job though!

I agree with what everyone has said so far. Your sandbox is very well organized and overall greatly improved compared to the existing articleMchamilt708 (talk) 15:19, 28 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
