I will review this article and will decide if it reaches GA or not. It is an interesting article and I will enjoy reviewing it. Some things I have spotted already are:
- The lead should be expanded to accommodate more of the Taxonomy section and a bit more of the Description section.
- The mycological characteristics box should be expanded and have |sporePrintColor= in it since the article says that its spore print colour is pale-brown.
- The new spore print color has been implemented. Sasata (talk) 14:31, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- In dscription - "Fruit bodies..." what fruit bodies? Its fruit bodies or others? Iainstein (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- The article subject. No other fungi are discussed in this section, so there's no need to repeat the name here. Sasata (talk) 14:31, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- In the Lead - this seventh sentence, "Historically, ...", should be added to the very front of the taxonomy section where it makes a lot of sense and the ref should be removed from the lead and added there instead. Iainstein (talk) 23:52, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- This information is already discussed in the taxonomy section in more detail. The sentence in the lead is just a summary. I've removed the citation, it was just there temporarily for DYK. Sasata (talk) 14:31, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- In the lead it says the spore print is pale-brown but it the mycomorphbox it says it is yellow-brown. It should be corrected to make it consistent. Iainstein (talk) 14:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- Fixed. Sasata (talk) 15:46, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- Under the synonyms header in the taxobox it lacks Phylloporus squarrosoides. Why is the species name castanella instead of castanellus since castanellus was the first name used? Iainstein (talk) 14:44, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- Good catch on the missing synonym, now added to the taxobox. The epithet was changed because the generic name Bothia is a feminine and so the ending of the epithet has to be adjusted accordingly. Sasata (talk) 15:46, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
More suggestions will come. Iainstein (talk) 14:24, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing! I've added a bit to the lead. Apparently, yellow-brown is not one of the supported spore print colors for Template:Mycomorphbox, but I'll leave a note there and see if that can be added. Sasata (talk) 15:41, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- I have found nothing wrong and are ready to promote GA status. It was a good article to review. Iainstein (talk) 23:01, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
